Does DAO voting really mean "the community decides"?

Honestly, most proposals I read first look for two things: who is funding, who is gaining power. Incentives are written like subsidies, but in reality, they lock you into a certain path—voting rewards, delegated authority, multi-signature of the foundation, parameter change windows... these are the true levers of power. Recently, the "yield stacking" of staking/sharing security has been criticized as a copycat, but I care more about whether the proposal outsources risks to later participants and then layers on small sweeteners to keep your voting hand in place.
Anyway, my current approach is: if I don’t understand, I don’t vote; if I do vote, I hedge it casually, and if it crashes, don’t blame "governance," blame my own greed.
