These days, I've seen discussions in the secondary market about whether to make royalties mandatory or not. Honestly, I can really understand creators wanting ongoing income, but embedding it directly into transactions feels awkward: users are buying assets, not subscription services. More realistically, whether it's enforced or not, it ultimately boils down to a game of "who controls the entry point" and "who dares not to pay," and if the experience is poor, it just becomes a matter of mutual annoyance.
Coincidentally, before and after the upgrade/maintenance of mainstream public chains, the group has started speculating whether the ecosystem will migrate... I actually think we shouldn't overhype the idea of "migration." The biggest fear for creator economy isn't that the chain changes, but that the rules keep shifting—more steps for wallet signature pop-ups, and people get lazy to click through.
I'm not trying to pick sides; I just think boundaries are necessary: I don't need to be understood, but I hope rules don't always use "for creators' benefit" as a universal excuse. Security, predictability, less hassle—these are friendlier for everyone. That's all for now.
