...and most of the articles are how they view them very unfavorably.

I did this because my initial impression is that, no, NFTs do not benefit artists in any appreciable way. It seems very much like a scam, or -- as is the case with most crypto -- maybe it is that many scammers are attracted to it and that's why it seems so sketchy. Either way, artists can easily sell their real life or digital works of art as is, even commissioned works, without any NFT whatsoever.

Why do you think artists like them? The only thing I can think of is that maybe it gets more people to buy their work since it basically turns their pieces from just art and instead into something investible...
