I believe the energy use comes from encryption. Basically the computer spends a long time encrypting the NFT to a huge degree, which uses a lot of processing power.

you'd think, but it's not encrypted. it's in a blockchain, because the "value" isn't in the file, but in the verification that the specific instance of the file is authentic. the actual "physical" thing of the NFT is just a fucking URL to it hosted on some website

NFTs are a scam, but that's mostly incidental. They're probably primarily a money laundering scheme
