Aaron Sage, a writer who described himself as 'deeply passionate about NFTs, Crypto, and Self-Development', said Blur is "the worst thing to happen in this space" on Twitter.
"NFTs are not all about money. Blur has made it that, and for that alone. They have brainwashed you with their incentives and given you free money to hook you in." Aaron Sage added.

He continued by criticizing BLUR’s UI as uninspiring, pointing out that it resembles a list that is devoid of “art, project description, or anything.”

"People will bring up Blur's incentives and capitalize on the fact that OpenSea falls short in comparison. But put that aside and put yourself in a noobs position who's looking to get into NFTs. Do you really want to onboard them into the money side of things or the art/culture?" Sage wrote in a tweet, questioning that "In the bear market Blur has come in clutch for some people. But in the long term, is this marketplace really at the benefit to the entire NFT space as a whole?"
Sage classfied NFT space into two groups: 1) People who are interested in art, culture, and the potential of the technology and 2) People who only care about making a quick profit. He believes it's important to support creators, artists, and individuals who strive to improve the NFT space through their work.
Ending his tweet thread, Sage said he doesn’t hate BLUR or its users, he "just wish the NFT space could switch it's lens to how we used to be - about the art and culture (i.e. ape noises in clubhouse and even the lazy lion twitter raids), but not what it is today with Blur."
