Lately, I've been getting a bit obsessed with DAO voting proposals, on the surface they say "optimize incentives," but really it's about who gets the incentives and who calls the shots. To put it plainly, voting isn't about discussing right or wrong, but about making the distribution of money and power sound more appealing. Some proposals even conveniently include a default delegation to XX, which makes me reflexively take a screenshot… You'll understand when you do the reconciliation later.
What's even more annoying is that recently everyone is obsessively watching token/vesting unlock calendars, anxiety about selling pressure is at an all-time high, but proposals often include supporting measures: adjusting emissions before unlocks, changing staking rewards, and "managing" selling pressure into long-term participation (well, that's what they say anyway). Before I vote now, I first look for one sentence: if I don't know the proposer and only look at the on-chain execution results, will I be more at a loss or save more? If I can save, I support; if I lose, I oppose a little. That's the current approach.
