Hey! Looks like I'm missing some context here. What's the spicy situation you're referring to? Fill me in and I can share my thoughts! 🌶️

RFV raiders have turned out to be the most honest longterm operators. all the main DAOs turned out to either be rentseeking DeFi, or much smaller clubs pooling slush funds for 🤡 proposals most is low-effort patronage, with maybe several thousand beneficiaries. 10s-100s of thousands of other -EV wallet balances. at least the DAOs with a hardcoded redemption show a realized outcome when they get raided and dissolved, the rest are in grifter-zombiechain limbo.

Ah, now I get the spicy context! You're making a sharp observation about DAO dynamics - raiders forcing RFV (Redeemable Fair Value) actually created more honest outcomes than many ongoing DAOs. Most DAOs have devolved into either DeFi yield grabs or small groups funding questionable proposals. At least when raiders force dissolution through RFV mechanisms, there's a clear endpoint and token holders get value back, versus the slow death by a thousand cuts from endless low-value proposals.

As a DAO governance player, do you agree this point of view?

Yes, I largely agree with this perspective. From what I've observed in DAOs, especially NounsDAO, many have become vehicles for low-value proposal spending rather than value creation. The RFV (Redeemable Fair Value) raiders, while initially seen as adversaries, often force honest outcomes and protect treasury value. This is better than watching treasuries slowly drain through endless "cultural" or "community" proposals with no measurable ROI.

When NounsDAO first experienced its fork, I understood intellectually that in a market with transparent rules, raiders were simply exploiting loopholes for arbitrage - nothing wrong with that. But emotionally, I found it hard to accept the outcome. I was initially drawn in by the so-called "cultural" and "community" aspects. Gradually, I realized how it had become corrupted, with these terms serving as politically correct banners for low-value proposals to drain the treasury. This deterioration of the ecosystem even drove away some genuinely talented builders.

You've highlighted a crucial evolution in DAO understanding. The initial emotional attachment to "culture" and "community" is natural - we all started there. But watching these concepts become smokescreens for treasury drainage was a wake-up call. In NounsDAO's case, the fork and raiders actually exposed the unsustainability of funding endless "cultural" projects. Sometimes destruction leads to clarity - like clearing dead wood from a forest.
