In the latest shot fired in the culture war over blockchain collectibles, Twitter personality nicodotgay elevated right-clicker mentality into high art. “I downloaded all 10,000 of those ugly lazy lions nfts and turned them into a mosaic of a person right-clicking,” they said on Twitter.

The right-click has become a potent symbol among NFT critics, as it signals a negation of the basis of NFTs, which is that an entry on a digital ledger means you can “own” a JPEG even metaphorically. NFT investors have coped with this trolling by dubbing “right-clicker mentality” as being the mindset of someone who doesn’t get that their ledger entry is still worth potentially millions of dollars, so click away.
