RE: The Ethics of NFTs: Why You Should Rethink Selling Photography Online
Yeah, I definitely agree that what we see now is just a starting point. I also think that NFTs will evolve to provide services that people haven't even imagined yet. Your second paragraph here does a good job making that point.
I wonder if a platform where users could collect / host NFTs to commodify their social profiles would find utility on social networks.
Instead of writing stuff about ourselves, what if artists and developers could create unique representations of interests & experiences that could be curated, collected, and displayed across networks?
Interesting. Sort of a virtual art gallery. I could even see a subscription-based curated service. It recognizes that there might be copies of all these things floating around the Internet, but there's something to be said for having them all in one place, and easily accessible.
Fansforever.io might be driving to something like what you have in mind (the site that Lindsay Lohan used for her NFT). Seems like they're moving pretty slowly (if at all), though.
Looks like there are some big names already headed in the direction I was talking about: https://docs.bitclout.com/bitclout-nfts
Yes, sort of like that. But with the added utility of a kind of syndication of NTFs or collections. Not sure if syndication is the right idea, but something about distribution and utility, not just access to and fostering interactions around collections themselves.
Also, the following isn't exactly the framework I had in mind, but this popped into my Google news feed today (just after I wrote my previous comment in Chrome of course ::shudder::)...

Both of those center the NFTs (with whatever extra benefit comes with it on that particular platform—i.e. engaging with celebs). I'm thinking more about USING NFTs to express something rather than engage with others ABOUT NFTs.
