Great article! The pics are hilarious; I worked for a sci-fi comics company that got really into crypto, and that's exactly how the top guy imagined our "epic metaverse" would look.; very neon, with (unironic) Ready Player One sci-fi mashup aesthetics. And memes everywhere.
In both entertainment/media and tech, I feel like there will always emerge people who, through their own devotion of the affects of consumer culture (hype! awesomeness! no consequences!), will create and/or shill the next Dystopian Thing better than any government psyop ever could.
That sounds like a couple people I know who went a little too hard into NFTs! Unfortunately providing evidence for your point. But, some would say I'm helping shill a dystopia myself with all this AI art. Guess we'll see.
