These days, the debate over secondary market royalties has flared up again.

While I was browsing, I thought: frankly, everyone just wants to save on transaction fees, but how do creators make a living?
Relying solely on passion isn't realistic either.
Platforms treat "optional royalties" as a compromise, but the result is that no one is happy, and it makes works seem like disposable commodities.

Recently, the "yield stacking" approach of pledge and shared security has also been criticized as a copycat, but the mindset is quite similar: everyone wants to squeeze every last drop of liquidity from the same asset.
If you ask me which side I stand on? I care more about whether the rules can be sustained long-term.
Anyway, I now leave a trace when I explore new chains and bridges, but I’m more cautious when buying NFTs, to avoid ending up just generating traffic for others, with creators not really benefiting.
That’s all for now.
