Hot take but I think "utility NFTs" are somewhat dead.

Minting something is a social signal that you like it - and I don't think it's feasible for mints to come with extra perks at scale.

You don't get utility for holding a lot of a token - why should for holding an NFT?

Onchain is the new online - FID 206 -  Building /coop-recs

Minting nfts for supporting the creator without expectations, the artist in another side to find some way to reward the truly  supporters without promising nothing in advance is the way.
