Lately there's been more debate about whether secondary market royalties should be mandatory. Honestly, I understand both sides a bit. Creators want a steady cash flow, or else after one mint wave, everything disperses; trading platforms and buyers feel, "I'm承担流动性，why should every transfer be deducted." But the most awkward thing about this on-chain is: writing rules into the contract doesn't necessarily mean they can be enforced. Once you bypass markets/aggregators, royalties become like finality—don't trust them too much before confirmation.

Looking at the current new L1/L2 incentives to boost TVL, old users complain about mining, selling, which actually reflects a similar underlying emotion as the royalty dispute: everyone is calculating whether they can break even in the short term, putting long-term narratives aside for now. To be blunt, if royalties really want to hold their ground, they might have to rely on the ongoing value of the作品 itself plus community consensus. Otherwise, relying solely on "mandatory deductions" I feel will eventually be voted out by the market. Anyway, when I buy NFTs now, I assume two things: liquidity isn't guaranteed, rules aren't guaranteed, and I only proceed if I can accept that.
