These past few days, there's been more debate about whether to enforce royalties in the secondary market.


Honestly, everyone wants creators to make a living, but they're also afraid of ending up as the ones who pay the final price.
I've looked around, and often it's not just about "support/opposition," but about who has more bargaining power in the transaction chain: the platform, market makers/aggregators, or the creators themselves.

It's a bit awkward that now, relying on on-chain tags and clustering to determine "who's exploiting whom" is becoming easier to manipulate...
If the tags are a bit outdated, or if someone intentionally uses several layers of intermediaries, the evidence chain you see gets distorted.
Anyway, I now trust more in "sustained inflow/outflow over a period" and the transaction structure, rather than just one or two trades.

As for royalties, I personally lean toward viewing them as a long-term tacit understanding between creators and the community, not something solved by a forced button.
If pushed too hard, the end result might just be finding another way around it, which could also mean paying more Gas and having a worse experience.
For now, that's it. I'll keep observing.
