> They're making fair points

Yes, on the surface, but they cherry-pick arguments and conveniently jump over the interesting alternatives.

> It's impossible to fully understand without complex technological and financial knowledge

Sure, now ask your mom how Web2 works. How does a phishing website work using web1 tech? I'd say anything under the hood for non tech people is close to magic. But that's not an issue, they don't need to know everything starting from how DNS routing works, but the article somehow suggests that they do.

The only fair point here is that it's indeed more complex.

> It is actively harming the environment

So, what about the projects that don't use PoW?

> It profits off of artificial scarcity

Ummm, this is the point of NFT, this bangs an open door.

By fair I mean debatable. Fair for a discussion. It's not garbage non-sense or gratuitous offenses. Certainly not hatred.

I'm very cautious about wording related to classifying speech. There's too much interest in curtailing it based on subjective perceptions nowadays.
