Recently, I saw discussions about royalties in the secondary market again.

Honestly, everyone just wants free trading, but creators also want to make a living.
I'm feeling a bit cold right now: this kind of "consensus-based" royalty system, once platforms loosen up or aggregators bypass it, creators' income becomes as elusive as air, impossible to grasp.
On the other hand, fixed revenue sharing, permissions, upgrade switches written into smart contracts—these are the real risk points that can be nailed to the fridge.

A few days ago, cross-chain bridges were hacked again, and oracles reported outrageous prices, and the group was all saying "wait for confirmation"...
I just think, the market is actually very honest: if uncertain, everyone collectively plays dead.
I also once looked at a new NFT that claimed to support royalties and be creator-friendly, but I couldn’t understand how it actually worked after flipping through it for a while.
I connected my wallet but then quietly withdrew: if I don’t understand it, I won’t act.
Missed opportunities are just missed.
For the creator economy to go far, maybe it still needs to rely less on shouting and more on mechanisms that can withstand human nature.
