Recently, I saw another debate in the secondary market about whether "royalties should be mandatory" or not. Basically, everyone just wants certainty: creators want a steady cash flow, and traders want lower friction. But in the on-chain space, if the rules are too soft, they rely on consensus; if they're too strict, they get bypassed, ultimately turning into a contest of who can find loopholes better.

Airdrop season is also quite fitting. Task platforms are simultaneously fighting against witch-hunting and implementing points systems, turning the "grab and earn" crowd into a bunch clocking in like at work, and even pulling creation into KPI calculations... Thinking about it now, it's pretty funny. Anyway, when I look at projects now, no matter how loud they shout about royalties, it’s less about that and more about whether they’re willing to clearly explain "who pays, and why they pay." Otherwise, it all just becomes emotional trading. As for risks, just don’t treat "supporting creators" as an automatic bonus point.
