Just now, looking back at my previous wallet records, I got a bit scared... I almost delegated a bunch of governance votes to a "seems very reliable" big account, I even clicked confirm with my hand, then I thought, wait a minute: am I voting, or am I just packaging my own voice and outsourcing it to others as chips?
To put it simply, governance tokens often govern not the protocol itself, but emotions and narratives. When there are more people, they get lazy; when lazy, they delegate; delegated power then concentrates into oligarchs, and in the end, proposal discussion areas are noisy, but the on-chain results seem as if they were pre-written. Recently, the kind of inflation + studio + coin price spiral collapse in blockchain games is actually quite similar: the system clearly states "everyone participates," but in reality, a few big players/studios hold the steering wheel tightly. Anyway, I’ll withdraw my delegation first, prefer to vote less, rather than send myself off as background noise.
