Do we need the DAO?

[Ozymandias]

The DCL DAO is facing a crisis of faith !

@lastraum

Would you (anyone) still use Decentraland if the DAO did not exist?

@ginoct

Lack of Expertise: Many voters lack the necessary context or skills to make informed decisions, leading to suboptimal outcomes.

@ginoct

Time-Consuming: Requiring the full attention of voters on non-critical matters is inefficient and unsustainable.

@ginoct

Voter Fatigue: This system contributes to voter fatigue, discouraging active participation.

@Zino

1. Resource Allocation Inefficiencies:
2. Misalignment with the Decentraland Foundation:
3. Short-Term Focus:
4. Talent Acquisition, Retention, and Continuity:
5. Treasury Management Issues:

@dao

It’s time for a reset—a comprehensive restructuring of the DAO’s operations that allows for better execution, faster decision-making, and greater accountability. This poll is a signal to the community that we must start this process now.

@lastraum

The DAO does not have any influence over the platform

@lastraum

The DAO can only build alternative clients on top of the sdk - which the sdk is solely managed by The Foundation.

@Tobik

if the DAO wanted to organize an event for a marketing campaign (e.g., Halloween), no one would take on the responsibility because: a) there isn’t a dedicated team for this, and b) the chances of achieving this through the grant system are slim, as most applicants tend to seek funding for personal projects rather than initiatives that benefit the platform as a whole.

@Zino

after nearly three years of experimenting with the current system, it is clear that we need to explore alternative approaches to drive better results.

We could just airdrop all the $ back to the people that contributed it
