While the current hype around NFTs seems like a giant scam, it's interesting to note that there is VCs investment in the area. That is, VCs investing in the infrastructure to mint/sell NFTs.
Same goes with NFTs that are bought to flip them... Ofc, in that market selling them initially by mass automatic generation makes sense. After all that non-fungible part is tad hard... But really doesn't matter once you automate generation.
