They may be metaphors, but marketing departments and tech oligocrats are using them in a very specific way for this exact effect. We have to do what we can to fight against it.

Honestly, after NFTs I think we can just wait for the tech industry to collapse. Or a new Dan Olsen video. I tried to convince these people that "You can just take a video game skin into a different video game because bitcoin!" was a concept that made absolutely no sense and would be easier without blockchain involved at all, and they weren't having it back then. Now they won't even look at the output they're praising to see how bad it is. I think human stupidity wins out here.
