Actually, everyone understands that in the secondary market, toggling the royalty switch back and forth ultimately harms the creators and genuine buyers, but I still can’t resist checking on-chain settlements: who’s setting royalties to zero, who’s splitting orders to inflate volume—once you look, it’s obvious. Recently, new L1/L2 projects have been rolling out incentives to pull TVL, and longtime users complain about “mining, digging, and selling,” which sounds familiar to me: traffic comes fast and leaves just as fast, and “long-term money” like royalties is even more likely to be used as chips. To put it simply, I don’t buy the story; whether the work is good or not comes second—first, look at how the transactions are actually settled and whether creators can get that share according to the rules; if they can’t, I’d rather skip a few trades, save gas, and go move bricks elsewhere—for now, that’s it.
