The Celebrity NFT Craze is Insufferable
Hey everyone welcome back to my channel! Today we’re going to be looking at celebrities again but instead of definitively ranking cringey celebrity couples we’re actually going to be looking at something much cringier… the scammy side of celebs. It’s true even actual celebrities don’t seem to be immune to pushing the same kind of scams to their audience that you see influencers typically fall into and this time it’s NFTs. I’m sure if you’ve been on the internet in the past few months you’ve seen some iteration of a cartoon monkey or a lion or.. whatever other animal they’ve turned into a doodle circulating on the internet and they happen to be a common form of an NFT. If you’re on Twitter you’ve definitely seen them considering it seems to be there and Discord that have the highest population of Crypto Bros pushing their products. But the thing is the crypto bros aren’t new, what is new in the past month especially is what feels like a suspiciously choreographed wave of celebrities suddenly all coming out publicly praising NFTs.
People like Reese Witherspoon, Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber, Jimmy Fallon, Liam Payne and even our Goop lord Gwyneth have suddenly become extremely vocal about their new NFT purchases that happen to be… extremely ugly drawings of cartoon monkeys (i.e Bored Ape)? I don’t think you could find a single person (who wouldn’t profit off saying so) who actually thinks these monkey drawings are worth any kind of money and it’s hilarious watching celebrities not only fork over millions of dollars for them but also stumble over themselves trying to convince their audience that not only do they LOVE their new NFTs but want to get their fans in on the fun too!
So i thought it’d be a fun video to look into the recent promotional tour that celebrities seem to be on with their NFTs this past month. If there are any other situations you can think of that have happened recently definitely be sure to share them below I’d love to hear about them lol. Also!! If you want a more informative take on NFTs in general I would definitely recommend this video: “Line Goes Up – The Problem With NFTs” by Folding Ideas that I recently saw, it was SO incredibly well done and insightful so if you’ve got the time I’d definitely suggest checking it out:
Otherwise I hope you guys enjoy the video! If you did feel free to subscribe and turn on notifications it really helps me out 🙂

You’ve got to redo this video! Have you seen the NFTs have completely tanked?
i have no understanding of this insanity and i don't want to
I've always said NFTs are just MLMs for crypto virgins
Reminds me a little bit of buying a trading silly bands
Love your peaceful persona Casey. Love your strong facial bones.
I fucking laughed my ass off when I first heard of NFTs and me and my friends ripped on all the ways it’s stupid and that was months ago and they’re bigger than ever and I’m just…so confused
Way to make the rest of us look bad, Nicolas.
The thing about scarcity is that it makes things valuable. So if you are a digital artist of a file that can be copied how else can you guarantee that you will be compensated for your time, energy, and creativity besides assigning a unique digital identifier?
They are not really that bad for the environment compared to the many things that the average person does daily. Do you use a fridge? Most likely. Drive a car? Take a daily shower? I don't hear many people getting up in arms about these things when it comes to the environment yet they choose to make this the scapegoat because it seems stupid enough to safely criticize.
The technology is improving to be less energy intensive but it's really blown out of proportion and serves as a distraction from the real problems.
Nice work
NFTs are used a lot like fine art. It’s money that’s safely untaxable. I can personally make a better looking monkey in spades, I’m sure most of us can, but that’s not the point for the rich. If a monkey is worth 200k, no matter what the NFT company is getting a portion of that, the rest is held like a Swiss bank account until the “owner” decides to resell and get their money back.
It’s a game for the rich to turn as much money into untaxable assets as possible. I don’t like it but w/e that’s life. I find it kinda predatory tho when they go about and try to get the average person to “invest” in this. Most of us have average income, and a nest egg would not be invested in a picture of a monkey for obvious reasons. A lot of the people investing, which might be hundreds of thousands, are putting in only a fraction of their income.
Don't think I'll ever understand crypto & nfts.
Ben McKenzie(Ryan from The OC) tweets so much about crypto & nfts & also posts articles about celebs using nfts 😂 I don't get it
okay i totally agree with you but you didn't have to choose Liam's worst song that his manegement forced him to sing. he actually does make great music lol. thank you for bringing up NFTs tho! i couldn't care less about it, it's so annoying and im happy im not the only one who thinks that! <3
These huge companies are making NFTs which is an equivalent of driving a gas car 511 miles per NFT they make. But they want you to reduce your energy impact. 🤣
This makes me think of Tulip Mania in Holland in the 1600s. This ish is gonna crash and burn…
OH MY GOSH IS THAT THE KICK INSIDE BY KATE BUSH BEHIND YOU?!
i have a folder on my phone full of all the nfts i screenshot but i have like 130 as of now
Bored apes is actually neon*zi
OMG ur hilarious. SUBSCRIBED!
The creepiest part of that letter was "to train and initiate to this environment". The matrix is coming, and we're being being prepped for it little by little.
I thought the ape you chose was about to nut 😶
Nfts are the stupidest thing ever
What is NFT?? Someone explain what it stands for
just jokes
I think nfts are a little dumb. But then you showed the shane tweet and i thought… if it was possible to own a tweet as a historical document, to have the real thing without the desastrous minting process and economic turmoil, that's the highest kind of internet history relevance a tweet can get, because is very important part of what shane means now. Im a feminists and study history and journalism independently and If we lived in a better version of this technology, the first video from a ranty gamergater to ever be uploaded on YouTube about Anita Sarkeesian and/or Feminist Frequency would be on my shopping cart FOR SURE. Thats history. You know? Like virtual war memorabilia.
whos thats a 5:40?
Unlike clicking on a link and buying a worthless NFT, I clicked on a link and found a clever, witty, and priceless video. Nice job Casey. Much respect.
Apparently Reese Witherspoon is now making a TV show about NFTs and she's promoting "Girl power" NFTs 😒😑
I should print and frame my personal Ratalouie NFT copy
184,000$??????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍
Entertaining and informative, excellent
Paris Hilton: this art of a monkey reminds me of myself
Audience: assumes she’s joking and laughs
Jimmy Fallon: 😐
NFT is a scam. I’m over this trend.
Idiots bought crypto, idiots will buy NFTs.
That Tonight Show interview was very sus. Jimmy Fallon didn't even laugh at everything like he always does! 🤔
Im selling my Ratalouis NTF, Casey
"those silly numbers" LMAO
