Okay, here’s a blog post addressing the article’s remarkably concise take on the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s resurgence.

Let’s be honest, reading the summary of this “comeback” piece felt less like a deep dive and more like a particularly terse email from a slightly panicked intern. “Otherside has been a long time coming.” Seriously? That’s it? That’s the headline-worthy revelation?

The article’s central claim – that Otherside, the Bored Ape metaverse, is experiencing a “comeback” – hinges entirely on the fact that it *exists*. It’s been “a long time coming,” which, let’s be clear, is a generous assessment of nearly three years of development and marketing hype. The timeline alone makes the “comeback” argument laughably weak. A comeback implies a period of decline, a fall from grace. The Bored Ape Yacht Club hasn’t exactly fallen; it’s been…existing. It’s like saying a perfectly functional toaster is having a comeback because it’s still producing toast.

The article’s underlying assumption – that the mere existence of Otherside is enough to trigger a resurgence – is astonishingly naive. The metaverse landscape is currently dominated by established players like Roblox, Fortnite, and even Meta’s Horizon Worlds, all of which offer significantly more robust and engaging experiences. Otherside, with its initial rocky launch, limited functionality, and frankly, confusing concept, hasn’t exactly been lighting the metaverse on fire. It’s been…warm. And arguably, still not fully functional.

Let’s talk about the “long time coming” aspect. The development of Otherside has been plagued by delays, shifting goals, and, let’s not forget, the disastrous announcement of a massive, unreleased, and ultimately scrapped, land sale. That sale alone was enough to send shockwaves through the NFT community – a community that, I might add, largely lost faith in the project’s long-term viability. To then suggest that this protracted development, coupled with past failures, is somehow a sign of a “comeback” is a serious misjudgment of the situation. It’s like saying a politician’s sudden apology is a sign of a positive change.

Furthermore, the article completely ignores the broader economic forces at play. The NFT market, as a whole, has experienced volatility. However, the Bored Ape Yacht Club, despite its initial peak, retains a significant and dedicated following. Many apes are still actively traded and held as status symbols within the crypto-art world. To ignore this sustained interest and continued value is simply burying one’s head in the sand – or, more accurately, ignoring the digital sand piles of Bored Ape floor prices.

The article’s apparent argument is that “Otherside” is a return to form and a major step forward, when in reality, it’s essentially a beta test with a very confused audience. It’s a fascinating experiment in prolonged development, but a comeback? Please. Let’s be realistic: the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s resurgence is built on its original popularity, and some ongoing trading, not some grand, ambitious metaverse.
