OpenSea tries “improving authenticity” by revamping account verification and debuting a system to detect, remove, and prevent copies of authentic NFT content

At first I was like “great!” then I read the announcement and see nothing is really changing except making it invite only? Seriously? This has been a serious problem for a while, I wrote about it almost a year ago: https://blog.seanbonner.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
