Turning off royalties in the secondary market, to put it simply, is: everyone wants lower friction and faster transactions, but the creator's ongoing income is treated as an "option." I myself am a hodler, not trading much, but just thinking about the people who work hard creating content/designs, they can only rely on that "initial release," which does feel a bit cold.

Not to mention now there are a bunch of AI agents/auto-trading accounts running around on the chain, the narrative is pretty hyped, but in reality, it's just robots high-fiving each other, pumping volume... Royalties in this kind of traffic are more like being worn down into scraps. Anyway, when I look at NFT or creator projects now, I don’t rush in first; I check the contract permissions and royalty logic to see if they are clearly hardcoded, whether they can be revoked, who can modify them; for security concerns that are unclear, no matter how good the story sounds, I’ll just ignore it for now.
