The secondary market keeps cutting royalties, to put it simply, everyone just wants to trade more cheaply, but creators feel like they're suddenly cut off from breath, their works still circulating, but they can't get that breath of life to continue. It's not about taking sides; of course, trading needs efficiency, but if "zero royalties" becomes the default, in the end, only people speculating on floor prices will be exchanging assets, and stories, aesthetics, and continuous updates—these slow-moving things—will be squeezed out even more.
Over in Layer 2, there's also a debate about TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies, which sounds lively, but I always see the same problem: everyone is competing to be "faster and cheaper," but rarely competing on "how to more decently share the money with those who deserve it." I myself don't chase after quick gains or quick drops; I prefer to slowly pick up a little during panic, but the premise is that this chain shouldn't treat creators as disposable materials... Anyway, if royalties are only justified by slogans, sooner or later, it will come back to the old question of "how much trust is worth."
