Why aren’t DAO delegates paid a % of the funds they have delegated to them, and then delegation being reset yearly? Seems like it would align incentives, and prevent checked out delegates from sticking around.

Hm as someone who by default got a large amount of funds delegated to them in DAOs due to having some pre-existing distribution / name recognition, seems unfair?

Why is it unfair? And also, knowing you’d get paid may change people’s calculus when delegating?

For example I was the largest delegate in Optimism at the start just because people recognized my name in the delegate list, doesn't mean I was the best and most engaged delegate and should be paid the most I wish token holders would be more informed and factor that in when delegating but in my experience vast majority don't look into details and just delegate to recognized names

Well, to be fair, you’ve been a great delegate! Paying them by default means you get funds, yes, but would hopefully incentivize many more OPUser-esque ppl showing up 😄

Aha..this made my day but my motivation was not incentives, when I decided to join OP DAO, I was not even aware that there would be a reward for my participation. Two pillar governance model and Optimism alignment to support Public Good was my motivation.
