I am now leaning towards: don't expect the secondary market royalties to be saved by "moral appeals," at most different platforms will do their own thing, and creators should lower their psychological expectations first. Frankly, traders need liquidity, platforms need transaction volume, and once royalties become an "optional" item, they are very likely to be pushed close to zero in the end.
But it's not to say that creators have no way out, they just need to think clearly about their income structure: one-time minting fees, memberships/tickets, airdrop whitelist, or even subsequent rights binding, might be more realistic than expecting to take a cut every time an asset changes hands. Recently, everyone has been focusing on testnet incentives, earning points, and guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens… If this kind of expectation management isn't done well, just like the royalties dispute, in the end, it's all "thought it existed, but it didn't." I will continue to read proposals anyway, but I no longer get so excited about slogans like "mandatory royalties."
