Lately I've been looking at governance voting again, and the more I look, the more it seems like "delegated voting = convenience," but in the end, it might just turn into a few big players or institutions pressing the buttons for everyone... Governance tokens are said to be "community co-governance," but honestly, it's often "whoever votes more gets to decide," and the voices of small funds are naturally diluted. The result isn't fate, but more like probability: if you delegate your votes to someone else, you increase the chance of being "represented," but also increase the chance of being "ignored."

My current approach is a bit more straightforward: if I can vote myself, I do; even if it's just for key proposals. When I do delegate, I spread out the delegation and don't put all my eggs in one address. By the way, recently hardware wallets are out of stock + phishing links are everywhere, and the more these happen, the more you shouldn't be lazy and randomly click authorize... Anyway, security and governance follow the same logic: being lazy once means you'll have to go through many pitfalls later to fix it.
