I’ve read that blockchain itself is a good technology. NFTs are a laughably absurd attempt to exploit that technology for profit.

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem. A way to establish trust while not trusting any party is a cool concept, but in the real world it's far easier to establish a source of trust.

Blockchain is effectively a distributed database. Almost always a good centralized database functions better.
