Recently, I've been looking at the secondary market and toggling the royalty switch back and forth. Half the group is criticizing it as "free riding," while the other half is talking about "market efficiency." The atmosphere is a bit like a water cooler debate comparing TPS, transaction fees, and subsidies on L2... Basically, everyone is arguing over the same thing: who will pay for growth. I now see royalties more as an "optional protocol," not a moral issue. Forcibly tying it to the transaction layer can be easily bypassed, and in the end, creators still have to look elsewhere for stable cash flow. Maybe a more practical approach is: make the rights to the work more detailed, so that holders and creators are genuinely linked in certain actions, rather than expecting a cut every time it's transferred. Anyway, I'm still observing and not taking sides yet.
