I’m a bit tired of the whole question of whether you should pay “secondary royalties.” To be blunt, I’m no longer trying to keep explaining. Creators should obviously be making money, but expecting people to voluntarily pay every time a coin changes hands is as mystical as expecting the market to self-regulate… In the end, it turns into the platform shutting down, orders getting used as a workaround, and honest people having to fork out more—really unsettling.
And this whole setup sounds exactly like that kind of “economic design” you see in chain games: once inflation kicks in, studios move in, the coin price spirals, and all the ideals turn into people preying on each other. Anyway, I only recognize costs now: Gas, fees, slippage, and time. If you can hardcode the rules during minting or the first trade, do it—if you can’t, don’t use morality to pressure me. That’s it for now.
