Marketing of such NFTs and building a good community is another significant factor of such NFTs. Artists opposed NFTs because they mainly focus on the art itself and the monetary component which deviates the art purpose from the art community. However, the project builds on top of the community can be a factor to push NFT valuation further.
Community Belong
Digital culture is evolving into something different than the physical world.

NFTs can push such branding into the next level with open interaction of users and receiving their support from them.
