These days I've been looking at governance proposals again, and the more I look, the more it feels like watching a "Delegated Voting Contest"… Honestly, as a retail investor holding just a few votes, they mostly end up with a few big players/representatives, and the voting results tend to reflect their preferences more. Who exactly are governance tokens governing? Anyway, it's not my emotions being managed; I just get tangled up in the comments. Modular chains and DA (Data Availability) layers make developers' eyes light up, but on the user side, it's just a face that says "So what does this have to do with my floor price"… My current approach is pretty timid: if I can vote myself, I do; if I’m too lazy to research, I just don’t delegate, at least to prevent my votes from all ending up in the oligarchs’ pockets.
