Just when I refresh, someone else is criticizing "governance voting is just a formality," and I'm not surprised. To be honest, once delegated voting comes out, it ultimately turns into a few big accounts nodding at each other: you entrust your votes to him, he then reassigns them to negotiate terms, and who exactly is the governance token really governing… hmm, most likely it’s governing those who want to stay firmly in control.
What’s even more awkward is that everyone has been complaining about the on-chain sorting/MEV issues for a long time, retail investors want a "fairer" transaction ordering, but no matter how well the proposal is written, the validators’ earnings are tightly bound to those few proxy agents’ interests, and the votes still end up saying "maintain the status quo, improve the wording." I’m now too lazy to imagine that a small number of votes can change the world; all I can do is not casually hand out my votes, better not to vote at all, since I still place my orders in positions others dare not, and the rest is just paying tuition.
