If it would be like Monero, that transactions are not visible to third parties, in a block explorer and Joe average could mine daily with low energy consumption some coins to lets say sign-up with a privacy email provider accepting Monero than this would be probably an interesting use case, or using the blockchain with time stamping services, thus users can claim that they did certain things at a certain time, if they wish to do so. But yes, all in all, I agree with you and nobody cares of the gigantic energy consumption all these crypto currencies require.

And does the article also explain to starving artists about the enormous ETH gas costs, when minting such useless crap like NFTs?
Another thing the article doesn't mention is that the vast majority of all those cryptogarbage projects, bitcoin included, are NSA tools for total surveillance. Which is of course why government agent turds mindlessly promote them, so that people 'embed' 'videos' 'blog posts' and everything else in cryptographically 'secured' surveillance databases.
Yeah, nothing says 'cypherpunk' like total surveillance. (like Jim Bell advocating joogle fucktarphone surveillance because of 'covid').

Once an Ethereum wallet is connected, users can start creating content and embedding media blocks such as videos, iFrames, social media posts, nonfungible tokens (NFT), auctions and crowdfunds. Blogs can also be imported from other platforms such as Medium or Substack.
Mirror users can share and fund their own work using the platform and the integration of Ethereum addresses.
Blogs can be minted as what the platform terms “Entry Editions,” which are a way for users to create NFTs of content and potentially monetize it.
