I'm starting to think I should have paid more attention in Non-Fungible Token Artwork class.

I’m just gonna say what everyone is thinking, I don’t believe someone actually paid for that.

Whoever bought it did not make their money the legit way.

I had heard of NFT before this video, but knew nothing about it. Now, 10 minutes later, I have a pretty good grasp on what's going on, what the relevant terms mean, and even her piece of art was well used to convey what "fungible" means.
With so much (often justified) criticism of news channels going around, I feel like it's good to point out a job well done as well.

What a scam. Don’t ever buy art you can’t hang on you wall. This is the next Beannie Baby.
