I just turned off the on-chain data tools to clear my mind. Recently, DAO voting feels more and more like listening to old songs: on the surface, it's "everyone decides together," but the incentive design, voting thresholds, and delegated permissions in the proposals are actually the metronome. Who can stay at the microphone all the time is pretty clear. What's more annoying is that many tagging systems are still criticized for being outdated or even misleading. When public opinion rises, everyone just follows the tags, and in the end, voting seems like giving a shout-out to a certain narrative... Anyway, now I look at proposals first to see "who gains what, who loses what," rather than just focusing on beautiful visions. That's all for now.
