Recently, I saw the secondary market treating the royalty switch as if it were air, with creators shouting "This is stealing money," and traders replying "Users don't want to pay." Frankly, no matter how beautifully it's written on-chain, in the end, whoever controls the trading entry point makes the rules... This is just like fork disputes over parameters: surface-level ideology, behind-the-scenes power grabs.
Social mining, fan tokens—this "attention as mining" approach, I also feel conflicted about it. Attention is indeed valuable, but it's too slippery; today you're watching someone, tomorrow you're watching someone else's collapse. Using this kind of fluid asset to provide long-term income for creators sounds a bit depressing.
But it's not all bad: at least the evidence chain is there, who promised royalties, who secretly changed the routing later—it's easy to check. I hope in the future everyone will focus less on slogans and more on verifiable rules. That's all for now.
