Recently, there's been talk again about whether secondary market royalties should be "mandatory" or not. Basically, creators want to maintain a steady cash flow, trading platforms want lower friction, and buyers don't want to be taken for a ride. During the initial launch phase, I'm actually more concerned with whether royalties put incentives in the right place—if the work mainly relies on hype and liquidity to sustain itself, then relying on royalties to keep it alive feels a bit awkward; but if you're doing long-term content/community management, not providing royalties at all can be a bit damaging.

Today, the discussion in the group wasn't too heated, more of a sense of fatigue like "let's just wait and see"... maybe it's also influenced by the macro environment, with expectations of interest rate cuts, the dollar, and risk assets moving together, making everyone more eager for certainty. Anyway, when I evaluate projects now, I consider "how royalties are implemented and how they are linked to rights" as part of governance maturity, not as a moral issue.
