Serious question - where did the whole “NFTs are bad for the environment” come from?

I remember the day like it was yesterday. 

Artists on Nifty Gateway getting roasted left and right.

But what was the source?

Onchain is the new online - FID 206 -  cooprecords.xyz

+1 to all replies about it centering around Proof of Work.

But like how did the message spread?

Surely there were media campaigns (tweets, videos, articles) etc.

I wanna figure out who was responsible for spreading the narrative and what resources popularized the concept

It comes from artists themselves. They're usually more left leaning and didn't like the new nft narrative. Heavy push back against any art platforms that tried to incorporate it
