Recently, I saw someone arguing about secondary royalties again.

Honestly, everyone just wants to take a little more, but when the market cools down, they start blaming each other.
I can understand creators relying on royalties to make a living, but buyers might also think: If I’m already losing money, do I still have to pay an "emotional tax"...
Anyway, it’s quite tangled.

Staking unlocks and token unlock schedules have been discussed over and over.
When selling pressure and anxiety rise, liquidity tightens, and the first thing to be cut is often "idealistic expenses," making royalties even harder to maintain.

If back then everyone had designed royalties more like optional memberships/benefits rather than automatic transaction fees, would there have been fewer arguments today?
I don’t know.
When gas fees are high, I just see it as a weight loss opportunity—less impulsive, less reckless.
Let’s wait and see.
