Talk:Non-fungible tokens

Genericide

This is a section I want to consider workshopping with others before its inclusion inside of the article. I want to focus on the nature of many NFTs being created in a mass-produced method just to give users procedurally generated slop to purchase, and how it ties into the NFT game industry which preys on random generation for minting.
