Recently, there's been more talk about secondary market royalties. To put it simply, everyone wants "free trading," but creators also rely on this to survive. A while ago, I impulsively bought a small piece, and when I looked again, the platform had turned off the royalty switch... That moment felt quite awkward, like you invited someone to a meal, and when it was time to pay, they wiped out the spicy oil fee.
What's even more embarrassing is that now many "creator economies" are actually treated as liquidity games: some platforms incentivize to pull TVL, and old users complain about mining, but still keep investing. I feel that in the end, royalties will turn into a situation where: on-chain enforcement is bypassed, and off-chain agreements are only kept if people feel like it. Anyway, I now prefer to buy less and focus more on whether creators are consistently updating/delivering; otherwise, it's just mutual destruction in the secondary market. That's all for now, I’ll keep writing scripts and monitoring suspicious wallets.
