No one said you dictate how they're formed. why did you even say that?
And yes of course they get to make their own decisions (obviously) it was this feeling that you seemed to give off that creators usually give themselves a shit ton of money just for clicking the create button. If they wanna show they get money because of other things, then... cool. But i think we all know many token creators are just gifting themselves money just for coming up with an idea and no solid reasoning. (ideas are a dime a dozen) No issue with them giving themselves money for actual work/action. It just feels like you're winking and nodding at them... like "hey we know you gave yourself a ton of money for doing almost nothing now here's a way to make that money worth a lot more"

Again i think this idea you are proposing is wonderful to burn tokens as a utility. It was the statement that low key had me pretty worried like it was just assumed they all gave themselves money. And to your point, to assume that 10% of an entire currency should be given to a creator is indeed a troubling trend.

It's not the 10%, it's the assumption that all these coins should just go ahead and do it like it's nothing. It's not nothing. However i doubt they stop at 10% ...

Not against them making some money but making tokens just to get rich and not be talking about the utility and value of the token... that's a recipe for a disaster.
Your token creators are gonna get themselves in trouble it's sounding too much like a scheme and not a solidly planned economy. Too much emphasis on get rich and not enough on utility. I think you know that's not a good look on your otherwise great system.
