If I wanted my profile picture to be hosted off-site with a non-zero chance of any outage affecting my Internet presence, I would have stuck with Gravatar. https://t.co/dY2PTgxCio

Your NFT is a product of a website, not a blockchain.
— Guy Swann ⚡️ (@TheGuySwann) January 21, 2022
It’s important to know what you are *actually* buying, not what you wish it was, or what others say it is. NFTs are URLs* to a centralized server that displays jpegs.
For those who’d like to know:https://t.co/4cINLIYOGI https://t.co/C8GEpuK8Dy
*So* decentralised! I sure do love hosting my monkey jpegs on an unreliable 3rd party! https://t.co/YvpA9yHaMd

I have a tremendous amount of respect for @kelseyhightower doing the legwork earnestly researching crypto and web3 and coming out the other side with complete clarity/no bullshit about what it actually is about.https://t.co/vGRvw47RUg

Decentralization always ends up being, in theory I could run my own server but in practice I’ll just use the services of the largest tech company in the space. https://t.co/J7jziaU5vM

That's the thing. None of this stuff is about decentralizing power. It's about transferring power to a new group looking to get a head start with none of the responsibility. https://t.co/fNszD3zpTg

New: Some people can't see their expensive NFTs because OpenSea is down.

This story gets at something fundamental that few NFT proponents are willing to own up to: they aren't files! They're file *redirects*! Signs pointing toward the thing! The vehicle, not the tenor!https://t.co/SzIVixxI6c

OpenSea is down
— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) January 20, 2022
Twitter uses OpenSea’s API for loading NFTs
Therefore, Twitter’s NFT feature is down#decentralization pic.twitter.com/Etqjvwhi9Y
Don't worry it's broken today because the Very Decentralised™ system is entirely dependent on OpenSea's API https://t.co/K51d3rQTXw
