Influencing Nouns without passing a prop or holding a noun is the true test of agency.

Crazy response tbh, the whole point of nouns (and zero voting etc) is to make the game accessible — owning a noun is just one of the many ways to have skin in the game

ya im oversimplifying things for effect but for the longest time we had the perception that "oh i dont have / cant afford a noun so why bother", and i think there is a similar misconception around passing proposals in that passing a prop is the starting point for action, which i dont think is true passing a prop is a means to get funds from the treasury -- that its, its not a stamp of approval or blessing or co-sign to go ahead yes, sometimes ideas are costly and funds are needed to fulfill your ambitions but there is very often a real way to start small and gain traction/progress which can help pass said prop thinking about it now, proposers are likely better off spending energy building the thing (even if tiny steps) vs crafting the perfect proposal pitch

I started drawing again last year because Nouns (you in particular)! Happened to stumble into rounds, make $16k or something crazy from drawing in 2024 (s/o /nouns-clips) , not that it's about money but cool story anyway. I didnt have a noun or prop and I've stuck at it, evolving drawings into some loose narrative, accompanied by written pieces that I'll now release as a book. I am also doing a prop now though, and have one of my dream nouns 🍄 Not sure if there's a moral of the story but - nouns rewards passionate ppl -be vocal to those you support - be consistent - there's magic in momentum Thanks mate, I'm now trying to encourage/support to those I appreciate too

this works if we fund things that aren't nouns focused or can use nouns as a form of advertising (esports, merch, events, etc). otherwise there is no incentive to make something for nouns without payment. you end up working on the thing you don't really want to work on because the probability of passing a prop is higher.
