At the time, influenced by the XCopy crypto artists, CC0 became a trend in the art world. Open copyright meant that works could be more easily recreated, turned into memes, and made into merchandise, thereby expanding their exposure. For a single piece of art, this could be a shortcut to amplifying its impact. However, the problem was that Moonbirds wasn't a single piece of art, but a PFP series. PFP's logic contradicted CC0. The avatar itself was the gateway to the IP, and the owner was willing to invest time and money in its creation precisely because of its exclusivity.
