I'm not very good at discussing the "big narrative" of creator economy, but recently, the issue of secondary market royalties has been getting more and more awkward. To put it simply, both buyers and sellers want more freedom and lower costs, while creators are afraid that once their work becomes popular, it will be flipped back and forth without them getting a penny... Neither side is entirely wrong, but they’re just embedding "moral agreements" into market rules, which ultimately turns into whoever has the louder voice who benefits.

And now everyone is almost in consensus on "waiting for confirmation," with incidents like cross-chain bridge thefts and oracle errors waking people up: on-chain isn’t a place for sentimentality, and if rules can be bypassed, someone will bypass them. If royalties rely on self-discipline, they are inherently unstable; but if enforced, they might drive away liquidity. Anyway, I now pay more attention to how these projects design "exit" paths, so that neither creators nor buyers get locked in at the end. That’s the way to go for now.
