After I muted the group, my ears felt much clearer, and I could focus more on reading DAO proposals... In the past, many people urged "vote quickly, vote quickly," and I was easily influenced by emotions. Now, as I read slowly, I realize that many proposals seem to be "incentivize to boost growth" on the surface, but actually they are redistributing who can make proposals, who can get the budget, and who can maintain control over execution. To put it plainly, voting isn't about right or wrong; it's about choosing who will have more influence in the coming months.
Recently, the new L1/L2 projects that offer incentives to attract TVL are back again. I understand the complaints from veteran users about "mining, proposing, and selling," because if incentives are only designed for short-term volume spikes, what remains in the end is chaos. Anyway, I now pay more attention to whether the proposal has locked up power: how the budget is spent, who supervises, and how to cut losses if it fails. Taking more time to vote isn't a big deal; sleeping on it and deciding later is pretty good.
