I've recently noticed that DAO voting proposals are starting to look more and more like candlestick charts: on the surface, they talk about "benefiting the community," but a closer look at how incentives are distributed, who has proposal rights/veto rights, and how voting weights are assigned, you can basically guess how the rhythm will unfold later. Some proposals are written very well, but end up directing funds and power to a few addresses, essentially packaging distribution within the process.
These days, I've also seen the "attention mining" and fan token schemes, where "attention equals mining." I'm a bit cautious: while attention can indeed be converted into money, it often turns voting into a traffic game—whoever has the loudest voice wins, not necessarily who is right.
The main reason I can stay calm is because of a habit: before voting, I write three lines of "the only reasons I support/oppose," then wait 10 minutes before reviewing it again. If I can delete impulsive sentences, I do... otherwise, I tend to change my plan impulsively.
