As long as I can take a screenshot of any random NFT and integrate a picture into my website, there's no fucking way those things are worth anything.

You think it's funny to take screenshots of people's NFTS, huh? Property theft is a joke to you? l'll have you know that the blockchain doesn't lie. I own it. Even if you save it, it's my property. You are mad that you don't own the art that I own. Delete that screenshot.

NFTs have a place but it isn't central to the Internet. That was hype to separate idiots who didn't know better from their money, aka grifting, and that kind of grifting has used literally everything to do that same thing in the past so NFTs are not a unique tool to that end.

NFTs have no place at all. There has yet to be any good suggestion on what they should be used for that isn't served by something else just fine. Or if not "fine", then at least solves no problem that would make it better. Not in-game items, not ticket sales, not silly ape pictures.
