Feelings on NFTs on mainnet vs Polygon?

Question

What are peoples thoughts on NFTs on Eth mainnet vs Polygon? Obvious essentially no gas fees on Polygon, but Ethereum NFTs are kind of the gold standard. Do people have feelings either way? Do you feel as though an NFT on a network other than the Eth mainnet is less legit somehow? I feel a little bit like the gas fees are gatekeeping the lower end of the market.

Mint and experiment on Polygon.

Bridge them back to Ethereum if they’re valuable or you want access to greater liquidity.

Full OpenSea integration plus wallet support with Zapper, Rainbow, Dharma etc means it feels really connected.

How does bridging an NFT to Ethereum work? How does this work for a collection on opensea? If I have an NFT collection by a polygon contract and one of the NFTs is bridged, does this NFT still show up in the collection? Any info or links you could provide would be great. I've searched but not found a lot of answers. What is the cost? Is this a cheaper way to get eth NFT collection?

There’s a lot more to be done in this space on standards and interoperability. See Vitalik’s most recent post on the subject.
