I muted the group, and I feel much more at peace.

Previously, I argued every day in the secondary market over royalties,
saying "respect creators," while also watching to see if transaction fees could be cut further,
basically just calculating my own accounts.
If royalties can only rely on moral self-discipline, then it's basically nonexistent;
but even if you cut them all, don't pretend you're supporting the creator economy,
at most you're supporting faster flipping.

The most annoying thing is that many data standards still love to put filters on:
treating fake views as popularity,
treating subsidies as income,
calling "buybacks" an "ecosystem consensus"...
sounds like the same old story in blockchain games,
inflation rises, studios enter the scene, coin prices spiral,
and all that's left is finger-pointing at each other.
Anyway, I now prefer to look at real buyers, real retention, and real profit-sharing paths,
don't take false prosperity as a badge of honor.
That's all for now.
