I tried seriously acting as a DAO citizen once, voting according to the proposal text.
The more I looked, the more it seemed like playing "Easter egg hunt": on the surface, it's about optimizing parameters, but in the corner, there's a line saying "The newly established Incentive Committee can make temporary adjustments to distributions," basically just renaming wallet keys and handing them over to a smaller group of people.
Even more absurd is the incentive design: airdrops/subsidies suddenly start a week before the voting period, and everyone instantly shifts from "discussing governance" to "rushing to express opinions," and those opposing aren't without reason, but they're afraid of being labeled as non-conforming...
I'm quite annoyed by this kind of soft coercion.
Recently, there's been chatter outside about rate cut expectations, the dollar index, and risk assets acting up together, and I think it's similar inside the DAO: whenever there's a macro trend, proposals tend to use "incentives" as the throttle, and the power structure easily becomes entrenched.
Anyway, after that incident, I first look at who can change the rules and who can distribute funds when I vote—don't talk to me about visions.
