Lately there's been more debate about secondary market royalties.

Honestly, both buyers and sellers want to pay less, and creators also want to keep earning.
I understand, but I'm becoming more and more obsessive: I only look at on-chain data.
If the rules can't be written into smart contracts and rely on "moral self-awareness," it's almost like an air wall...
And I'm also adjusting myself: only looking on-chain can also overlook emotions.
When the community is unhappy, they go straight to zero-royalty markets, and no matter how strict the contract is, liquidity can still run away.

This airdrop season feels more like:
Task platforms cracking down harder on anti-witching, points systems turning the grifters into clock-in workers,
In the end, everyone is calculating ROI—what's the point of creator consensus anymore?
Anyway, when I buy NFTs or memberships now, I first look at routing and slippage—whether I can avoid getting sandwich attacked;
Royalties? If they can be automatically deducted, I pay. If not, I won't pretend to be a saint.
At most, I avoid projects that rely solely on hype and shouting to sustain themselves.
