Gwyneth Paltrow bought an NFT and the internet went ape
Gwyneth Paltrow took time out of her busy schedule of telling people to put jade eggs up their vaginas and inventing creative candle names for her online new age health site, Goop, to share some news.

In case you don’t know, The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a massive collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) – unique digital files that can be bought or sold and tend to be described as art, though some have simpy been signatures or recordings of farts. Don’t ask.
The bottom line – pun intended – is that people consider these things collectible and will pay enormous amounts of money for them, but others think they’re a massive scam and you’d have to be an idiot to buy one and a grifter to sell one.
Guess which theory prevailed in the responses to Gwyneth Paltrow’s tweet.

Might draw a range of vaginas in funny hats and glasses and sell the web address to them to Gwyneth Paltrow for a million dollars each

An endorsement from Gwyneth Paltrow is a sure sign that something is high quality, useful, credible and reasonably priced, and in no way a harmful bullshit scam. https://t.co/2QTRPAIRRx

It's really incredible that Gwyneth Paltrow would soil her good name by getting involved in an ugly scam designed to fleece total imbeciles. Who could have predicted it pic.twitter.com/Dz8fqeKD7n

I have always said that Gwyneth Paltrow is going to be one of the four horsewomen of the apocalypse and I was clearly justified. pic.twitter.com/BlDunulYWf

Oh no not Gwyneth Paltrow pushing NFTs. She was so trustworthy and reliable up until this exact and specific point.

*Celebrity name trending*
2020: oh god did they die
2022: oh god did they buy an ape

Here’s a thought –
Instead of spending your money on NFTs which impact the environment negatively…
Why not buy a local artist's hard work, instead? Something that can be hung on a wall and shared with everyone instead of a blockchain…
