My current attitude towards DAO voting is a bit "watch participation but don't take it too seriously": many proposals seem to be discussing parameters on the surface, but underneath they are really about redistributing the cake and seating arrangements, how to distribute incentives, who can veto, who can control the budget, these are the main points. To put it simply, what you're voting on might not be "right or wrong," but rather which side you're on.
Recently, there's been talk about social mining, fan tokens, and the idea of "attention as mining." I think it’s more like wrapping voting rights/distribution rights in a layer of social veneer. It’s lively and fun, but ultimately it comes back to power structures: those who can continuously generate attention are more likely to turn governance into their own backyard. Anyway, I now look at proposals first by checking the incentive clauses and execution authority—don't get carried away by slogans, just try not to step on landmines.
