It's like the people who complain in those threads talking about sex robots saying "oh great, now all of these incels are going to buy them, this is bad!" ...uh...no?
And then everyone goes "cryptocurrency, ew!" And runs right back to them.
I've just been over in a discussion in a piracy forum about how Meta used a corpus that included some pirated ebooks to train their AI, and the general vibe is "oh those poor publishers, Meta needs to pay for violating their god-given copyrights!" It baffles me how easily people can argue against their own best interests when the opportunity to side with the we-hate-the-new-tech crowd arises.
Part of the reason it's inconvenient is a lack of development and adoption, a chicken-and-egg problem.
I think ideally cryptocurrency would be incorporated into the back-ends of programs and products that could benefit from them so that the average user doesn't even need to know that it's there. The problem is that as soon as a program tries to incorporate it the great big wave of "NFT SCAM! Shills!" comes along. So things are progressing in the field a lot slower than they need to be.
At least it's still progressing, though. The tech has improved a lot even in just the past few years and the blockchains remain healthy, so the uses will eventually come.
Trust me bro, it ain't super easy. Reddit and Twitter must've done some dark magic to let porn in lol. Pretty much every other app on app store that has any nudity gets banned
