Yesterday, I was browsing DAO proposals and started to feel overwhelmed. To put it simply, many votes are superficially about "parameter optimization," but underneath, it's really about how to incentivize distribution and who can more easily gain influence: voting power is concentrated in a few wallets, delegated with one-click packaging, and paired with a "participate and earn some rewards" approach. As a result, everyone seems more like they're collecting check-in tokens rather than genuinely judging the direction. Recently, I've also seen social mining and fan token schemes that promote "attention as mining." I also wonder if it's a false proposition—attention is indeed valuable, but the attention subsidized ends up more like KPIs. Anyway, when I look at proposals now, I first ask: where does the money come from, who gets it, and who becomes stronger after receiving it; I look at other details more slowly after that.
