when i first heard of nfts i was confused but also excited because they were advertised as this groundbreaking thing for digital artists however the more i learned about them the more i came to resent them i think if nfts were made in a more sustainable way while also protecting the rights of artists then maybe i would feel differently however the way they are currently right now there are more harm than good in my opinion so now that we have gotten all that out of the way what can you as the viewer do to protect your art from being exploited by nft sellers the answer is simple use deviantart i never thought i'd say this but yes deviantart is currently the best website to use in order to keep an eye out for potential art theft they recently introduced a new feature where they search the internet for copies of your work and inform you about them that feature is free for three months after you post a specific artwork and after that you won't get notified unless you opt into their core membership this is not an advertisement for debian art at all by the way i'm just saying this because i learned this myself from twitter because most of the people that came out exposing that their art was used as nfts were actually informed of the fact that their art was stolen by that program on deviantart i certainly will be re-uploading all of my artwork into da just for that extra security i hope that was a helpful tip and i know deviantart is a blast from the past but guess what if it's gonna help us protect our ip today i'm all for it so shout out to them for that before i end this video i want to thank my lovely patrons and channel members for supporting my content thank you to darcy rowling's nat dinara sergius jamisha walker celine bead seiji hat salem smith inola neptune adrian charles cohn sammy special nicodee angelo janessa NUMBER_TOKEN jillian jj adam quentin colley ghoul ranger isabella vika brontes ashley v lady kimono jiraiya sin the opinion queen beast booked lil artsy savage ash witzel minmakolon bunny nalani the black sheep one draws garrett blackwolfNUMBER_TOKEN into two harriet rose lady kimono and queen pritter's creates i appreciate you all and if you want to support my content as well consider becoming a patron or a channel member it helps me out greatly and makes it possible for me to continue to bring you guys new content the link to enter my patreon is in my description and if you want to check out my merch i have that as well so i'll put that link somewhere in here for anyone confused about nfts i hope this video illuminated why they are so contested i also hope you can share this video around with others who are a little bit confused on what nfts are and just to kind of generally educate them on that situation i hope i didn't get too much wrong but i'll put my sources in the description and i
