People are wilfully ignorant towards crypto's actual energy consumption

The other day there was a discussion in r/technology about NFT in games. Ubisoft as you all know have embraced XTZ as the blockchain to bring NFT to their games.

Instead of reading up on what this is exactly and how this could be used in games in the future the only thing happening in that topic was bashing crypto, blockchain and by extension the energy consumption needed to run the network. When I tried to comment that XTZ is actually quite low in energy needs, I just got ignorant replies and downvotes.

It seems to me that sensationalist news posts about crypto are keeping people in the dark regarding the true potentials of crypto and blockchain. As with everything new they focus on a single bad aspect and enlarge it without proper analysis. It kind of made me sad to see so much ignorance in a sub that's supposed to be dedicated to technology, out of all topics available on reddit.
