What do folks here think of the NFT mandatory vs optional royalty discussion currently going on?

Feels like FC is a much better place to have a conversation than on the blue app.

i've implemented EIP-2981, the royalties standard in contract, set manually in opensea, and used the manifold registry.

even for coded in contract, marketplaces still have to be willing to write the corresponding code to respect the standard and most don't.

I would never ship something actually good on Solana/Magic Eden, Its a VC backed cash grab + this decision reinforces that impression. As an artist, you pick your ecosystem.

agreeed — solana always gave me "staff eng pet project" vibes. 

refactoring something that already exists from the ground up with a minor difference in architecture detail because you are smarter + better than your predecessors to achieve ......what

SOL bugs me on so many levels -- particularly it's total disregard for any interface / standards based coding model. It's like the platform was engineered from the ground up to encourage little engineering fiefdoms.
