Recently, the debate over secondary market royalties has flared up again, and I can understand it well: creators want long-term income, while traders feel "I've paid once, why should I be charged again?" Others think that writing royalties into the contract solves everything; in reality, when the market loosens and takes more detours, it still ultimately relies on consensus and platform strategies as a safety net. Frankly, it's still a game of strategy.

Having worked on nodes for a long time, I am quite cautious about designs that seem "just the way it should be"... Like the recent stacking of staking/sharing security yield stacking, it's not surprising that some question whether it's a pyramid scheme. The yields look high, but when stacked layer after layer, who bears the punishment and who takes on the risk? Often, no one wants to clearly explain. The same goes for royalties—it's fine to want continuous revenue sharing, but the boundaries between "mandatory" and "voluntary" need to be clearly understood. Otherwise, it ends up as mutual tug-of-war, hurting both creators and liquidity. Anyway, I now value transparent rules more—less fantasy, more practical constraints.
