Recently, I've seen more discussions about secondary market royalties.
Honestly, everyone just wants "smoother buying and selling," but creators don't want to become tools for one-time art sales either.
From a product perspective, if royalties must rely on moral self-discipline, it's basically non-existent;
if enforced forcibly, it will scare away liquidity, and the trading experience immediately becomes rough.
What I care more about is: are royalties paying for "ongoing services," or are they compensating for "pricing errors at the time of issuance"?
If creators are truly managing, granting permissions, and updating content later, I'm willing to pay, preferably transparently like a subscription;
but if they do nothing but automatically deduct via smart contract, it's like passing through a toll fee—users won't be able to sustain that mindset long-term.
By the way, before major chain upgrades, everyone is guessing whether they'll migrate…
This kind of situation really shows how fragile "income rules" are: one migration, market switch, or standard change, and royalties could be cut off entirely.
Anyway, I now believe more in embedding value into the experience and rights, rather than betting on an always-effective fee deduction switch.
