NFTs

Non-fungible tokens, abbreviated as NFTs, are digital data in the blockchain traded and/or sold for real-life currency. Upon buying an NFT, the buyer receives a certificate that proves their ownership, although it is not recognized legally. What sets NFTs apart from other cryptocurrency like Etherium and Bitcoin is that NFTs are not fungible, meaning they cannot be exchanged with other NFTs.
YouTube themselves considered adding blockchain features, including NFTs, in 2022. However, as of April 2023, there have been no additional statements about this feature, possibly due to public outrage.

==Criticism==
NFTs are often criticized due to their requirement of a lot of electricity to generate, which damages the environment. In addition, despite the common claim that NFTs are unique and have owners, anyone on the Internet can right-click and save them. Artwork sold as NFTs are also mocked for their generally ugly art style.
Many controversial YouTubers and scammers use NFTs or related scams to siphon money off of investors, or in some cases, their own fans and consumers in general. YouTuber Coffeezilla has made a number of videos exposing various scammers.

==List of YouTubers that were plagiarized==
Another criticism of NFTs is that NFT sellers often plagiarize art/steal content that isn't theirs and sell it as their own NFTs. Here are a list of YouTubers that had their content stolen for NFTs.
