Recently, I saw a bunch of tutorials on "delegated voting" teaching people to click twice and be done, basically handing over their governance rights to louder voices. And everyone still comforts themselves: I participated in governance. Participated in what, in the end the voting page looks like a shareholders' meeting, the top few addresses sneeze, and the proposal passes, with a strong oligarchic flavor.

Airdrop season is the same. I just recently realized that the task platforms now crack down on "anti-witch" efforts like they're catching attendance, with a points system that makes the grifters feel like clocking in at work... And then governance side lets you "delegate with one click," hilarious, all the votes you've worked hard to accumulate, the moment you hand them over, they become someone else's political capital. Anyway, whenever I see the words "community consensus," I default to: whoever controls the liquidity, owns the consensus.
