Putting jpegs on the blockchain is a bad idea not because they take a ton of space and are ugly, but because NFTs or digital collectibles shouldn't be an actual file. They should be an abstraction over an idea that could potentially be represented in multiple ways.

Or at least that makes more sense to me and it is also much nicer in practice.

The blockchain, layer 1, is intended to immortalize bitcoin settlement transactions. It’s not meant to, and shouldn’t be used to immortalize the reason for settlement, or really to persist anything else. You can piss into an aquarium but it’s a really stupid idea and reasonable people will think you’re an asshole if you do.
