Recently, I saw the secondary market arguing over royalties again, basically: buyers and sellers want to save money, creators want to make a living, and platforms want to please both sides... I don't have any strong opinions, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that relying on "default commission" to support the creator economy is a bit shaky, and if users are unhappy, they vote with their feet.
Instead, I now pay more attention to simpler indicators: whether the作品/协议 has a stable influx of new users, how engagement and retention are doing, even if the earnings are slow, it still provides a foundation. Modularization and DA development talk enthusiastically among developers, while users look confused—I can understand that. In the end, it still comes down to "what benefits do you give me, and why should I stay."
After lowering my goals, I actually stick to it longer: I don't expect one solution to fix all conflicts, just gradually pick projects that can clearly explain their incentives, and start with that.
