Hopefully that's something her label is pushing her to do and she'll be out of there in the future, just like it took Gaga years to refuse projects.

I guess she really is a bad guy

It takes an immense amount of energy and resources for just one nft

NFTs use a whole ton of energy and resources that directly affect the environment, which is something Billie preaches the safety of. It also affects animal’s natural habitats as a part of the environmental change

"Take “Space Cat,” an NFT that’s basically a GIF of a cat in a rocket heading to the Moon. Space Cat’s carbon footprint is equivalent to an EU resident’s electricity usage for two months, according to the website cryptoart.wtf. That website used to let people click through the estimated greenhouse gas emissions associated with individual NFTs until creator Memo Akten took it down on March 12th. Akten, a digital artist, had analyzed 18,000 NFTs and found that the average NFT has a carbon footprint somewhat lower than Space Cat’s but still equivalent to more than a month’s worth of electricity for a person living in the EU."

because they are mostly bought and sold using cryptocurrency, which uses HUGE amounts of energy. It uses so much electricity on purpose to make the process of "mining" it difficult so that the currency "has value".

NFTs being such a craze right now (I mean, a scam, but you know...), encourage more and more people to get into crypto, just making the environmental impact worse.

no, an NFT is just a weird little digital receipt and part of a blockchain and the energy used to maintain it is gigantic

when you buy an NFT, you're not buying the image, just a digital receipt

I just saw a video explaining the whole thing and now I dont understand how can someone even think buying an NFT is a smart idea

There’s no way the same woman who’s so online that she’s disgusted by Gaga’s meat dress for vegan reasons, has no idea about the stink around NFTs… ™️

“What’s wrong with NFTs?”

Y'all are acting so judgemental so quickly. There will be a point in time where NFTs have little environmental impact because in it's the pipeline for blockchains like Ethereum. It could be she's saving her seat for when the right time comes. I hate this mob mentality versus things you don't really understand. smh.

Educate yourself. Not just because it's cool today to be dogpiling on anything NFT related doesn't mean it can't be viable in the future. I hope y'all don't have any semblance of hypocrisy when you so vehemently speak against blockchain technology.

I must say though that the timing isn't the best because it could be seen as an endorsement for the current dirty NFT minting process and also put less educated people into situations where they can be rugpulled.

If only NFTs existed back in ARTPOP days, surely it would be one of her projects. Good for her to miss that boat tho lol
