Recently, the secondary market royalty disputes have exploded again, basically: creators want continuous cash flow, traders want lower friction, platforms want to please both sides... The result is all kinds of "optional royalties" and "mandatory royalties" going in circles.

I'm drawing the path while getting dizzy myself: Are royalties part of the work itself, or part of the market rules? Anyway, in the end, on the chain, it all comes down to who can block that link in the trading path, who can decide whether you have to pay.

By the way, Layer 2s are again comparing TPS, fees, and subsidies, all claiming to be "good for users," but when it comes to royalties, low fees + high-frequency trading just amplifies the contradiction: the cheaper it is, the easier it is to bypass.
I don't have a clear conclusion... Right now, I lean more towards: don't treat royalties as a moral issue, treat it as a mechanism issue. Can we reduce some illusions and have more default options that actually work? That's the way to go for now.
