NFT Carbon Calculator CryptoArt.WTF Was Used to Shame Artists, Creator Memo Akten Says

● 27/10/2021
“I underestimated how much people already hated NFTs. All I wanted to do was create the equivalent of a flight carbon calculator. But people used it to tweet ‘Your shitty GIFs are ruining the planet.’ We don’t shame people for their carbon footprint like that in any other context.”
– Memo Akten, on the fallout of CryptoArt.wtf and why he took it down, eventually. “It served its purpose,” Akten tells fellow artist and Twitch streamer Raphaël de Courville. “It sparked a conversation around the footprint of NFTs.”
