Recently looking at DAO voting proposals, sometimes it feels more and more like opening blind boxes: on the surface it's "incentivizing the ecosystem," but underneath it's actually reshaping the power structure—who can submit proposals, who gets subsidies, who is implicitly expected to do the work. During airdrop season, it becomes even more obvious; the point system makes the grifters seem like they're clocking in at work, and the task platforms are constantly fighting against witch hunts, yet common proposals often just say "make the distribution rules more complicated." Before I vote now, I first check where the money is flowing and whether the thresholds are quietly being raised... Taking it slow is fine, no need to rush.
What I fear most isn't missing out on opportunities, but rather throwing myself into a set of rules that will be very hard to exit later.
