Many projects store the images on IPFS and so they are not just going to disappear. And some projects store the image or code to generate the image on the blockchain itself, but this is tricky since the size that can be stored on blockchain is limited.
I really wish people would take the time to actually learn about the NFT space before spreading FUD. I mostly own NFTs in the Cardano blockchain, so l will focus on that. All of the NFTs I have store their image on IPFS and so the image wonâ(TM)t just disappear as is claimed in the article. And there are a number of NFTs that take it a step further and actually store the the image itself or the code that generates the image on the blockchain including dynamic images such as awoken algorithms. The art in the NFTs can go way beyond cartoon avatars with many projects consisting of blue chip artistic efforts. And as others mentioned the value owning art is not destroyed just because someone can have a copy of it. Smart investors diversify and art has always had a place for those looking with extra money for investing. NFT solve the problem of forgery and chain of custody which plagues the traditional art market. Good NFTs also bring people together and create communities that share a interest in that particular NFT.
