Recently, in the secondary market, the royalty cuts are getting deeper and deeper, and creators are arguing loudly.


I'm actually a bit more calm about it… To put it simply, royalties are originally like "conscious payment," and once everyone starts competing to be less conscious, it's hard to rely on morality to hold it up.
On the trading side, they only focus on slippage and transaction price, regardless of who drew it.
What's even more outrageous is that now a bunch of AI Agents place orders themselves, sweep floors automatically, and run trades like crazy, with loud narratives, but safety is pinched to the limit: once you authorize, you might not even know who is interacting on your behalf later.
The royalty disputes might ultimately turn into: humans want respect, but robots only care about efficiency.
I’m not pretending to understand everything, I just think that for creators to survive in the future, they might need to turn "value recirculation" into products/permissions, rather than relying on market conscience… Yeah, it’s pretty realistic.
