      Nothing, really.

      It means you get a little certificate.
      That says you own the article.
      But you can’t edit it.
      But you can show it to your friends.
      But not if the site is down.
      But the resale is gonna be like, whoa~
      Maybe $50 less than you paid for it.
      But the sentimentality is worth it.
      You should definitely get two.

      You get a special unique(?) cryptographic token containing a link to the article, presumably.

          I don’t think anything about NFTs inherently guarantees their payload is unique. As I understand it, that part is enforced by the exchange, if at all. And there’s nothing stopping you from putting the same payload up on a different exchange. The token itself would be unique, at least within the same chain, but who actually cares about that? :P

            I might be nitpicking, but IMHO it is perfectly reasonable to read this as questioning whether the token itself is unique, which is how I read it. The idea of non-unique NFTs then made me write a short quip about it, that’s all.
