Recently, I’ve been reviewing old NFT transfer records again, and I find the secondary royalty issue quite awkward: frankly, I completely understand that creators want to earn ongoing income, but leaving the question of "whether to pay" up to the market’s discretion, ultimately, whoever is more timid ends up paying more. On-chain reconciliation is more straightforward; the few transactions where royalties weren’t received look like missed payments, awkwardly, or like utility bills being selectively unpaid...

Plus, with recent tightening and loosening of taxes and compliance in certain places, the expectations for deposits and withdrawals are also fluctuating. Everyone cares more about “taking the money” and “costs,” making the willingness to pay that extra royalty more realistic. My current approach is pretty simple: before buying, I check whether the project team has fixed the rules and whether the revenue sharing addresses are clear. If it’s not specified, I treat it as non-existent to avoid disputes later—I’m not really into the drama anyway.
