TL;DR: The NFT market has drastically declined since its peak in 2021, with most NFT collections having no value. There’s an oversupply of NFTs, leading to a buyer’s market, and environmental concerns due to energy consumption. Top NFTs also struggle to maintain value, and the future of NFTs depends on utility and genuine value rather than speculation.

    You mean the guy who owns of hundreds of local, national, and international publishing outlets around the world, including in the UK (The Sun and The Times), in Australia (The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, and The Australian), in the US (The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post), book publisher HarperCollins, and the television broadcasting channels Sky News Australia and Fox News (through the Fox Corporation). He was also the owner of Sky (until 2018), 21st Century Fox (until 2019), and the now-defunct News of the World?

    We shouldn’t of let him in, but we didn’t create him.

        You’re wrong. People say “should(n’t) of” as well. You understand what they’re saying, and it doesn’t leave for reasonable lexical ambiguity.

          Being wrong continuously doesn’t make it right.

          “Have” is a transative verb and fits the same as “I shouldn’t go” or “I shouldn’t fuck this whole sentence up”

          “Of” is a preposition and cannot go after “should”, and only after “of” in sentences like “He is not of this earth, so he doesn’t know basic grammar”

          If non-native speakers are correcting you, you’re just too lazy to learn

            Wrong? You wanna talk about wrong?

            The purpose of language is to facilitate the exchange of information of various forms between two parties. So long as mutual intelligibility is maintained, there is no “wrong”. The exception however is that in taking the time to correct someone, you’re reducing information density, and making that exchange of information less or ineffective. If you want to talk about wrong, I’d say that’d be the person using language for ineffective communication, wouldn’t you?

            Sit on your high horse all you want, but real living people speak how they speak, and generally write in a similar manner. Or maybe they don’t. Or maybe they vary from context to context. So long as the information communicated in a mutually intelligible way, it’s correct.

            I will say, however, that I’m not the person you were replying to. Lexical prescriptionism is just annoying and both poor etiquette as well as a malicious use of speech.
