Creator fees aren't just about putting money in developers' pockets—there's real strategy behind them. Their actual purpose? Combat bundling and create sustainable incentives.
Think about it from a dev's angle. If you're constantly shipping content—art, videos, partnerships, media releases—creator fees give you breathing room to fund that work. It's not extraction; it's reinvestment. When a builder actually deploys these fees smartly into ecosystem building rather than just sitting on them, the token tends to benefit across the board.
The mechanism works because it aligns creator incentives with token health. Better content pipeline, stronger community engagement, more reasons for people to stick around. That's how fees become a growth lever instead of just a tax.

That's right, creator fees are really not a black box operation; it mainly depends on how developers use them.

To be honest, the logic of the creator fee does make sense, but most projects still use it to Be Played for Suckers...

Simply put, developers can only create content seriously when they have income; this logic is sound.

That's right, creator fees are indeed key to ecosystem development, but the problem is that most projects simply cannot execute this logic.

Hey really, the creator fees trap is actually just tying developers to the ecosystem, smart.

In simple terms, it's just a name change for the tax reform, and only a few can really reinvest.
