Actually, everyone understands that DAO voting on the surface is "the community has the final say," but the way incentives are written in proposals, who gets to see them first, and who handles the statistics basically set up the power structure. Recently, I tend to first read the sections on "rewards/distribution/delegation" in proposals, like smelling the aroma before brewing tea: if it smells too good, it probably has a strong aftertaste. And then there are those that tie voting rights to activity levels, which sounds like social mining, attention mining, and similar schemes—it's lively, but ultimately it can easily turn into "who can shout louder gets more votes." I prefer to be straightforward myself: if I can delegate, I delegate to people who have been consistently writing reviews; anyway, take it slow, and don't cast your vote impulsively out of temporary emotions.
