Recently, there's been more debate about whether secondary market royalties should be collected or not. To be honest, it's normal for creators to want ongoing income, but when trading platforms and buyers cut royalties, short-term liquidity increases, but in the long run, it turns into "everyone just wants to make a quick profit and leave," and eventually no one cares about the work itself.

I've experienced a few times when everything reset, and I became a bit sensitive: when rules change, the first to get hurt are often not the big players, but those who are genuinely creating content.

And now, with extreme funding rates, the group is starting to speculate whether it's a reversal or just more bubble squeezing. I actually think it's quite similar to the royalty controversy: when emotions run high, people talk about fairness; when things cool down, it’s just about costs.
Slippage, fees—add those up, and who still wants to pay extra to "support creators"?
I'm now leaning towards being conservative, preferring to earn a stable, smaller amount rather than being pulled along by narratives... for now, that's how it is.
