To be honest, I’ve found the recent royalty dispute quite interesting. Should the secondary market really take a cut and split a payment with creators? On one hand, I feel it should be done that way—otherwise, what do creators rely on to make a living? On the other hand, on-chain liquidity is already not high; if you slice off another fee, trading volume could basically come to a halt. If creator royalties had been written into the smart contract layer back then, instead of relying on market goodwill, we probably wouldn’t be arguing so endlessly now.

As for social mining and fan tokens—honestly, I still think it’s a bit of a fantasy. Attention is indeed valuable, but how do you measure how much that attention actually contributes to you? In any case, the friends around me who use these tools eventually all turn into pure “volume farming” types—they watch, but don’t leave anything behind. Maybe genuinely valuable content still needs to be bought outright; algorithm-based profit sharing just feels like make-believe.

My personal approach: so far, I’m still fairly conservative. The tools I write are only shared with people I know. I’m not greedy for speed—if I can save some money, I will.
