Just spotted a sale of an NFT in the mempool, the routing was roundabout, and in the end the royalty was "conveniently" wiped out... To put it simply, the current attitude of the secondary market towards royalties is just two words: save where you can. Creators aren’t fools either; the more they try to bypass it, the more they want to lock in the split, but locking it in would scare away liquidity, so in the end everyone is looking for loopholes, which looks pretty awkward on-chain.

What's even more surreal is that recently hardware wallets are out of stock, phishing links are rampant, and many people, while claiming to support creators, are too lazy to even read the signature pop-ups and just click confirm. Anyway, I’d rather spend two extra minutes carefully checking the calldata than lose that tiny royalty and end up walletless... that’s it for now.
