And it's also why I always call adoptables "politically-correct NFTs". It's okay for an artist to ask $100 so you could own their rinky dinky basic wolfsona. It's okay for an artist to ask $450 because they got like, five arts of their sona. It's okay to mooch off hundreds from people because you're a starving artist and people are willing to give you an easy half-grand because support your local artists or whatever.
Equally stupid as NFTs but NFTs arguably did it worse with the pricing so people had further reasonings to hate it beyond "People are paying [X] amount of money to own something someone can just save as and own instead? Wow, it's not like adoptables are the exact same thing but I'll just ignore it."
And let's not forget the whole omnichange(? forgot how it's called) thing where they correlate one big leftist issue with another. Crypto? Bad. Environment? Good. Crypto and environment? Bad. Right wingers? Bad. Crypto and Right wingers? Bad. Bad, bad bad.
