I just looked at a DAO proposal, and on the surface, it's about "optimizing incentives," but only on the last page did I realize that permissions were also being changed: who can propose, who can emergency pause, who can allocate budgets... Basically, it's just moving the keys from pocket A to pocket B. The same goes for staking/sharing security setups; the benefits stacking sounds appealing, but in the end, when nested setups are involved, who actually controls governance, who takes the blame if something goes wrong, the proposal often remains vague.
I'm trying not to impulsively place orders myself now: when I see words like "subsidies" or "additional incentives" in proposals, I hold off first, check the permission changes and time locks, and also turn on privacy channels for transactions and loosen slippage protections a bit—wait half an hour for my emotions to settle down before acting... Otherwise, if I act a second too early, I’ll feel guilty all day afterward.
