curious what the community thinks about this since its a sentiment i see pop up now and then my off the cuff take is that old/current nouns voters/members generally struggle to see new influential voters enter, its a power shift dynamic that is built into nouns but can feel uncertain and unpredictable* insofar nouns is a train that is both built and wrecked at the same time (h/t mikegood), the status quo feels 'safe' and 'steady' and in some ways its 'the mess we understand' i wont pretend im fully immune to the feeling of uncertainty, but i think ive learned to embrace it over the years. and i think you can make a case for this cyclical nature of nouns voters/power blocks being 'a very good thing' since it naturally combats stagnation which is a common poison for any org and, honestly, would probably kill nouns rather quickly were we to shut off auctions or otherwise ossify the voter base (note: not focused on or against mikegood, his comment is just what sparked the thought)

My issue with the current setup is that existing holders often get to punch down while newcomers are left to figure things out alone. I’ve dealt with misdirection, lies, and people pretending to be something they’re not, both within Nouns and professionally. For over a year, when Cares made predictions about the DAO’s trajectory, I was constantly told, “The money is here to spend—don’t worry about the bleed.” But it’s clear now that mindset only served to dismiss real concerns and avoid taking proactive steps. Meanwhile, others claimed to be building support systems that weren’t actually happening. There’s a protective layer and gatekeeping mechanism that’s tough to understand. I’m hopeful DUNA and new teams can address this and create a more open, supportive ecosystem. Thanks for sparking the conversation.
