Lately, reviewing DAO proposals has been giving me eye strain. On the surface, everyone is talking about "higher participation rates," but in reality, once the incentive structure changes, voting shifts from "expressing opinions" to "queueing for a slice of the cake." I was initially quite naive, thinking that if rewards are generous, people will take it seriously. But I later realized that the clearer the rewards are, the easier it becomes to concentrate power in the hands of a few individuals or agencies. The rest are left just to "click agree and collect the candy"... To put it plainly, proposals are not just text; they are the UI of the power structure. Coincidentally, with cross-chain bridges being hacked recently and oracles reporting anomalies, people are still there "waiting for confirmation," which feels like the same logic: whoever defines the confirmation, who controls the rhythm, can take a little more in the chaos. Now, when I review proposals, I first look into the incentive sources, who can propose, and who can veto; otherwise, it's easy to be led astray by a phrase like "for the community."
