Who actually bids on all these almost auto-generated NFTs that are flooding everywhere? And why? Why do you want to "own" those?
I'm not trying to claim art has to have an effort behind it, but I'm still confused how these can be so sought after that they're all over.

From my understanding, there is in fact a lot of effort that goes into coding these generated nft’s. That in itself is a new form of art.
The excitement of it, feels very similar to the excitement of opening a packet of basketball collectors cards back in the 90’s, and hoping you will find a rare card that’s worth heaps!
The generated nft’s have rarity in different accessories or features etc. so it is similar… in some ways you could say it’s interactive art?
Traditional art is a very sacred thing that not everyone has the capacity to appreciate… but nft’s collector items are much more accessible for everyone I think?
I do believe as our user base expands into the millions, more traditional art will also have its audience and be much more appreciated on the platform as well.
Not saying I’m right about this though. 😅😜

I do appreciate your answer, though unfortunately, the coding is a breeze these days as there are countless examples out there. I'm not going to mention any names, but I can tell at least one user of this site uses
https://innovationcompany.co.uk/labs/faces/
In other words, creating the posts is the real effort for at least some of these. :)
And I totally get that I don't get to "define" what is art and what isn't. I'm just not a fan of how these are almost overtaking this platform.

dimoand time
December 14th, 2021
when i did this one, i had just started working with animations. i just had an urge to try to use some really glorious anime scene and kinda went from there.
i had been on DESO for 1 month almost exactly, and i was still trying to be seen a little more - so i don't know why this was the image i decided to make lol. but i think it's a kinda cool image actually. the first thing is "it's DIMOAND TIME!!!" the misspelling was on purpose ofc, i think it looks funny. then "DE-SOOOO" which in my head sounds like it's being said by like a little pokemon creature. then i wanted something ~weird~ to be the ending, so i created this strange "DeSo-Man" face (he makes many appearances after this) to be revealed. the face is made from the DeSo logo creating some kind of weird helmet. and DeSo-Man always says "in retrospect, it was inevitable" - which is placeholder text i saw on diamondApp, and later also saw it seems to be Nader's commit message for the github repos. and it probably has been used in other ways, i don't know lol.
