Recently, there has been more talk about royalties in the secondary market.
Honestly, everyone just wants to maximize liquidity, but creators' cash flow isn't just air.
In the past, setting a 5% or 10% fee looked pretty attractive, but many of those were platform-defaulted collections,
and in practice, once you loosen your grip at the execution level, it's gone.
APR—I've even had to break down subsidies and cash flow—royalties are the same:
the voluntarily given part, with stability roughly equal to mood.
What's more awkward is that if the creator economy relies solely on "moral coercion,"
it gets cut first when the cycle turns bad.
Last night, the group was still discussing stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various de-pegging rumors,
and as soon as emotions rise, everyone's first reactions are to withdraw, hide, or seek certainty...
So, expecting traders to pay an extra royalty willingly in this atmosphere is quite difficult.
I'm now more interested in whether the project team has made creators' income into a verifiable and predictable mechanism
(such as services, rights, subscriptions, etc.),
rather than pinning all hopes on secondary "self-awareness."
Anyway, no matter how good the numbers look, if it doesn't land in the pocket, it doesn't count.
That's all for now.
