Lately there's been a debate about whether secondary market royalties should be mandatory, but I think there's no need to rush to take a side. Frankly, royalties are like "lifeline money" for creators, but once they turn into strict deductions, liquidity drops, and in the end, creators might not be able to sell at all—looks good on paper but feels much colder in reality. Conversely, opening everything up completely is also quite brutal; platforms and big players can compete down to zero, and the real artists who draw and compose can only rely on passion to tough it out.
I'm now more inclined to look at whether projects explain "reflow" in plain language: for example, buy back part of the transaction fees, or tie revenue sharing to activity levels—don't rely solely on secondary market morality... human nature isn't that stable.
By the way, hardware wallets are said to be out of stock; I waited 17 minutes for delivery before customer service responded. But phishing links are on time every day. The dispute over how to split royalties is still ongoing; don't lose your assets first—pause for a second before signing, let the cold wind blow through your mind and wake you up.
