Last night I went through a bunch of proposal texts again, and after staring at the voting page for a long time, my eyes hurt so badly, and my neck is a bit stiff... But the more I look at it, the more I feel that "delegated voting" is quite subtle. It's said to increase participation, but in reality, it often turns into packing power and handing it over to a few "professional representatives." In the end, who the proposal benefits depends on who can get delegated long-term and who can mobilize resources to craft the narrative.
What's more awkward is that many people delegate and then think they are participating, but they are too lazy to follow up on what their representatives actually vote. And the loudest disputes in the community are often about the part of their own wallets, like the recent water wars over NFT royalties: creators say they need a livelihood, trading platforms say they need liquidity, but in the end, it all comes down to who has more influence in governance. Anyway, before I vote, I only trust the original text and the interest structure diagram, setting aside emotions for now.
