I'm not very good at discussing creator economy topics that are more about "sentiment," but recently the fierce debates over secondary market royalties have made me want to take a break. Honestly, everyone is calculating: how much can be saved by not paying royalties, and what long-term content can be gained by paying. But if the only thing left is "save whenever possible," creators will eventually have to find more aggressive monetization methods, and the content will become more and more like billboards, which may not be comfortable for buyers either.

And when incidents like cross-chain bridge thefts and oracle errors happen, the community collectively shifts into a "wait for confirmation" mode: don't rush, just see if it's a trap. I want to approach the royalty issue with the same mindset—don't be carried away by temporary emotions. How rules are designed ultimately depends on whether people are willing to stay in this market long-term. Anyway, I personally prefer to buy projects that clearly communicate rights and subsequent delivery, without relying on moral pressure or just exploiting others. That's all for now.
