Recently, there has been debate again about whether secondary market royalties should be mandatory. To put it simply, everyone wants "creators to have a livelihood," but once it comes to on-chain enforcement, it turns into a question of who will be the enforcer. If enforced, transaction routing can be bypassed, and aggregators can switch, ultimately still relying on packing order and entry point control; if not enforced, creators' morale collapses, and the community disperses. What's more awkward is that now retail investors complain about validators/miners earning too much, MEV front-running and sniping, while at the same time hoping someone can "fairly" deduct royalties for them... it sounds quite contradictory. It seems that the issue of royalties might need to be approached from the perspective of "default voluntary + making the value return more explicit," otherwise it's all just a tug-of-war over sorting layers. For now, I'll do this: tonight, I'll grab the calldata from the recent NFT transactions to see how the routing is being bypassed.
