1. yes, so I'm actually able to speak to the realities of this, not just pontificating in articles on substack or mirror

2. DAOs don't need to be "echoes of a VC-backed company" but they also don't have basic shit like conflict resolution or HR, so they chaotic messes as workplaces for the most part

not sure why you're throwing the phrase "VC-backed" in my face as a retort, do you even know who I am or what I've contributed to? pretty much the furthest thing from VC-backed.
