The recent wave of cutting royalties in the secondary market is basically a tug-of-war between "creator income" and "transaction friction." The data is quite straightforward: when trading cools down, everyone immediately cuts royalties; when trading heats up, they start calling for respect for creators... I don’t have any moral high ground either. As a voting participant, I care more about whether the mechanism can be self-consistent: royalties should either be fixed at the protocol level and enforced strictly; or just be honest about it—switch to voluntary tipping and rights feedback, don’t expect exchanges/markets to shoulder the blame.
By the way, regarding the mainnet chain upgrade, everyone in the group is speculating whether projects will migrate. I think whether they migrate or not isn’t about being stubborn; it’s about the ledger: migration costs, user pathways, royalty enforcement capabilities—what’s more realistic. Anyway, I’ll finish reading the governance proposals first. The show can go on, but the votes still need to be cast.
