Recently, I've been watching the arguments about whether secondary royalties should be paid in the creator economy again, and the more I watch, the more I find it quite tangled: the market basically just wants to reduce friction costs, while creators feel like they are being exploited for free. The ideal scenario is to "support creation," but when I do rollback tests, I also think that if rules rely on morality to sustain themselves, the risks are actually greater, and once liquidity runs out, there’s nothing left.
Not to mention the current hype around testnet incentives, points expectations, and daily guesses about whether the mainnet will issue tokens... It seems like they are pre-spending the "potential future subsidies," and creators on that side are also easily led by the rhythm, turning content creation into task completion. I spent a whole night analyzing data, my eyes are sore, and my neck is stiff. Anyway, I’ll run the correlation matrix again first, at least to stop fooling myself into thinking “I understand it.”
