Recently, there has been more discussion about secondary market royalties, basically: wanting platforms/traders to pay more to creators, but everyone also doesn't want to be the sucker. Of course, it's easy to empathize with creators, but I also have to admit that relying on "mandatory commissions" to sustain creator economics sounds a bit hollow, like forcing a business model into a contract and locking it in.
It's even more awkward in governance: once voting starts, all stakeholders are pulling in different directions, and it might end up as "symbolic support plus actual bypasses." What I want to see now is how to design incentives that are less awkward, such as turning royalties from a "transaction tax" into a "continuous service fee/rights," where willing buyers pay, and those who aren't willing can just not pretend.
By the way, before major public chains upgrade/hard fork, the community has started speculating whether migration will happen... Honestly, when the chain shakes, the first to be hit are often creators with marginal income. Anyway, I don't pretend to be optimistic; I prefer to observe first, avoid emotional team battles, and focus more on the results.
