The more I look into governance, the funnier it feels: they say it’s “everyone votes together,” but in the end, a bunch of people delegate their votes to a few big accounts—just to save time—so it turns into a meeting of an oligarch club. And you can’t really blame ordinary people, either. Voting means you have to read the proposals and figure out the trade-offs; the time cost is higher than what you get back. Plainly speaking, everyone is just voting with their feet: handing their attention over.

The airdrop season is pretty much the same. The task platform’s anti-sybil and anti-reward-farming measures are as strict as attendance tracking, and the points system turns people who try to “farm rewards” into office-grindset kings… so more people just want to “submit assignments for points”—how could they have the time or mental space to care what governance is actually governing? For now, my sense of boundaries is this: I don’t need to be understood, but I’ll do my best not to package my choices as righteousness. If I can make the decision for myself, I’ll vote. If I can’t, I’ll just steer clear—at least for now.
