There is something really wrong about doing something that you know is complete garbage and yields no benefit to anyone else in terms of productivity. But after one level of indirection we see all sorts of tasks around us that people do and also benefit no one, for example when someone destroys a pallet of watermelons or fills up a swimming pool with orbeez that end up in garbage hours later. The person who cultivated the watermelons or the worker that toiled in the orbeez factory to make them saw the fruit of their labor yield no benefit to anyone else in terms on productivity. This type of task happens far too often.

Only difference is, there is no masquerade in the NFT app a16z funded.
