for actual art I can almost get it but when it is as simple as a google image that someone photoshops a bit, no. Also, I wont be buying anything that is only a NFT ever - if it is a NFT that accompanies an actual physical item then that is fine with me.
I don't even get it for art. The only use case that really makes sense to me is video games. I think finding/earning usable NFTs in blockchain linked video games (think weapons in Diablo or car skins in Rocket League) and being able to sell them in outside systems for real funds would be a game changer for the space.
I also find it fascinating in cases like the argument over the first NFT. There are those claiming that Namecoin .bit domains were the first NFT and this is a digital item that can be logged on a blockchain and transferred without a 3rd party. They also serve a purpose (like video game NFTs) unlike artwork NFTs that let's face it, are worthless and provide no value whatsoever. I've been following this argument and I actually think it's pretty cool that a Bitcoin merged mined coin has been capable of logging NFTs for nearly a decade now. It makes you wonder if merged mined chains could have been a better way forward than splintering the network into thousands of different alt chains mined by different algorithms as it seemed at the time like this was the preferred method satoshi would have opted for.
