I just finished reading a DAO proposal, and on the surface, it's about "optimizing parameters," but upon closer inspection of the attachment, it turns out that the reward weights are quite obviously skewed toward certain address categories... To put it simply, voting is not just about expressing an opinion, but more like redistributing voting power. The same narrative applies to the modularization/DA layer; developers are passionately discussing it, while users are looking at a bunch of terms with a confused face, but in the end, who gets the subsidies and who controls the governance votes are the real focal points.
Before I vote now, I check three things: who receives the incentives, who can propose, and whether there's a brake on emergency powers. Anyway, in my Shell ledger, impulsively clicking "Approve" also counts as a cost. If you're too lazy to read the whole thing, at least glance at "who benefits," which can help you avoid many pitfalls.
