While I can see the potential to have such technology to verify authenticity, it seems this is the f'n craziest 'emperor has no clothes' Pog BS that has come down the binary yellow brick road.
But hey, I am impressed perhaps jealous that people have seemed to turn a fancy software cookie into some real world cash.

this is entertaining just for how much he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about and how little sense most of them make even if you accept the premise of 'blockchain can do this'

It looks like someone (HitPiece??) scanned everything over 1000 plays on Spotify and made an NFT of it
Bunch of artists are suitably pissed about it

My take is that it's hard to imagine real people with such little sense. Even the distress of the person who posted the black monkey story, which sounded like a moral tale to tell your children about how being a dumbass leads you to lose everything and die angry, is so disconnected from common sense. (They apparently reconciled and are still getting married, yay love). Your boyfriend bought you an 8K image of a monkey, and what you're concerned about is that he thinks you were mean to him? As opposed to uh, asking him to hand over all financial management for the net 80 years. And you reached for Reddit for a solution? It's a bizarro alternate universe, as if they're all living in the Matrix.

I donโt think those Reddit stories are real.

I admire the gumption. If at first your scam does not succeed, try and try again.

"Early adopters will get access to their very own music lounge where youโll be able to share... your NFTs in an immersive listening room" - I remember trying Second Life for a weekend about... some years ago?
I'll check my emails. I signed up on 10 February 2007 and cancelled my account on 02 March 2007. It was obviously and totally inadequate. A single-line IRC client with a poorly-written graphical engine on top of it. I admire the site's owners for managing to fool the world's press into advertising it as the next big thing. And some of its money-making schemes were ahead of its time. I admire nothing else about it and I don't care how it's doing now. Someone will probably pipe up that it's popular in Germany and has one hundred and fifty million user accounts (including mine) who regularly use it etc. As a vehicle for creativity - which is how it was advertised - it was dire.
But, yes, this kind of "immersive listening room" is exactly what Second Life was advertised as, and it was rubbish, and this is rubbish as well.
