    On the other hand, with an NFT you’ve just thrown your money down the toilet, while timeshares will keep charging you fees and are incredibly difficult to get out of (and the services that supposedly help people get out of them are often scams too).

      True, but while you’re still paying those timeshare fees, you still have access to the place.

      The real difference is that a time share is never thought of as an investment where you buy low and sell high. It’s thought of as getting a good deal on something you plan to use. For it to be similar to an NFT it would have to be something like a dude in Nebraska buys a time share in Australia and then tries to make money from Australians or something. AFAIK almost everybody who buys time shares does it because they plan to use the place as a vacation property and actually do use it that way, at least for a while.
