Just woke up and saw the debate again about whether to give creators royalties in the secondary market. In the comment section, some are shouting "free market," while others hope that the images they post will be bought back as a safety net... Honestly, everyone wants liquidity, but no one wants to pay that tiny bit more. Royalties are quite a tricky issue: charging too much feels like a toll, charging too little means creators can only rely on "passion power," and in the end, it’s just big players flipping assets among themselves to keep warm.
What’s even funnier is that the neighboring L2 is still comparing TPS, transaction fees, and ecosystem subsidies, spitting saliva like whoever’s "cheaper is more just." Anyway, looking at these debates now feels like watching the reflection in a puddle: the more emotional the reaction, the more blurry the picture. For the creator economy to last long, maybe we first need to admit one thing — most people aren’t here to support creation, they’re here to find an outlet. Let’s start with that.
