Previously, when discussing the creator economy, everyone defaulted to "royalties = creators' long-term livelihood"; now, when the secondary market heats up, it turns out many people just see it as a transaction cost, willing to pay when the market is good, avoiding it when the market is bad. Frankly, no matter how ideal the mechanism is, it can't withstand human nature and liquidity pressures—platforms, project teams, and collectors all have their own agendas.

My personal feeling is: royalties are not off-limits for discussion, but don't package them as moral coercion, and don't expect them to automatically solve content quality issues. What's more practical now is to prioritize security... Recently, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and a bunch of phishing links are everywhere. Creators work hard on content, only to be wiped out after theft, with no chance to even "fight for royalties." Anyway, I just treat all links as fake for now; taking it slow is okay.
