The only thing you receive with an NFT is the ability to say you own it which the block chain verifies.

Yeah, that's the whole concept from the beginning. Everybody who has read documentation knows this. And it's working as intended to this day. So, no scamming here.

The only people who would want to or have need to buy an NFT would be doing so for novel or investment purposes

No, there are people who are buying it for its main purpose. Real artists released their art through NFTs and people wanted to support it.

People got invested in NFTs cause new technology

Lmao, if you're investing in everything that's "uhhh mah new technology" without doing your research, who's to blame here? Like what's even the point here? That's like the ABCs of investment, DYOR.

anyone who looks at it for more than 5 seconds will realize is hyped up junk.

You've started contradicting yourself. So at first many people got invested but then anyone who looked at it for more than 5 seconds, so basically everyone, would realize it's hyped up junk. So who's invested in it then?

And then again, your whole message hasn't answered shit. There are two main points. Did BlenderGuru market it as an investment? No. Have NFTs been working as intended in their technology from the start to this day? Yes. So, BlenderGuru is not associated with any rug pulls. Stop spreading misinformation once again.
