Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.::NFTs had a huge bull run two years ago, with billions of dollars per month in trading volume, but now most have crashed to zero, a study found.
I mean in your hypothetical their options would be to either spend effort to send you something worthless or not spend the effort and experience zero difference on their end.
Not zero difference, doing nothing means they still have their goofy useless monkey to use on X!
