I'm still trying to wrap my head around NFTs myself but after reading some of the comments, I'd like to offer my insight.

This question keeps coming up "What do I actually get out of this by buying an NFT?" Which might be the wrong way to look at this. Decentrilizing our content and declaring individualized ownership is the first step in breaking away from our current understanding of how social media works.

Right now, everything we tweet, post, like, subscribe and click on is owned by the sites we're doing it on. And that is turned into massive amounts of data that is used in targeted advertising. This isn't anything we don't already know. It's just something we can't seem to stop doing.

Social media isn't going away. Our world has changed to a point where, unfortunately, it has become a necessaty for society. So if we can't just get rid of social media, we can at least change how it works by taking control and ownership of our own data and content.

Just creating a decentralized social media network using blockchain isn't enough. NFTs offer insintive for content creators to make the switch from exclusively providing content to sites that pay them using ad revenue.

NFTs are the alternative to that ad revenue. Because if we're creating a new social media platform that doesn't take in ad revenue, how else are top content creators going to make money? They're not without a solution. So they have no incintive to start actively being taking part. NFTs offer this solution.

What people actually get by purchasing NFTs is to be part of a larger agenda moving forward. Plus you'll be part of any conversation or continued discussion regarding whatever content you've purchased.

That's how I see it at least. Like I said, I'm still learning. I just know that when decentralization first came about, we were promised more than just a fake stock market to gamble with. I see this as real progress towards the bigger ideas that blockchain technology can acomplish.
