Charlie bit my finger removed from web and sold as NFT

YouTube clip with 882 million views taken offline and sold to highest bidder.

While it’s probably fair to say that everyone who really needed to see the “Charlie bit my finger” viral YouTube clip from 2007, has already done so, there’s something inherently upsetting about the concept of forcibly removing it from the internet so it can be sold to one individual for a private collection. Yet this is the fate for many pieces of web culture as the NFT boom continues to expand into unexpected places. If this seems ridiculous, we’re with you, but 11 active bidders scrambled for the video that eventually sold for US$760,999.
