Watching DAO voting too much, I increasingly feel that the proposal text is just packaging; the real "voting guide" is in how incentives are written and how permissions are divided: who can propose, who can execute, who gets the budget, and who explains the KPIs... Basically, it's about hiding the power structure in a table. Recently, Layer2 projects are arguing over TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies, arguing like a marketplace, but it's pretty much the same: which layer receives the subsidies, who gains the voice, and in the end, it all comes back to the governance table. A colleague of mine just said: "You guys are voting enthusiastically, but in the end, isn't it just the same few people signing off?" Hearing that was a bit heart-wrenching, but also quite true. Anyway, now I look at votes first to see "who will be stronger because of this," then decide whether to follow.
