People seem to be using the return proposal as a way to gauge whether a project is worth supporting,
And that's to be expected. What if people decided they'd like to take 20 million dollars. It doesn't matter what their post says. As long as they have enough support, they'd get it. So, instead of allowing people to rob us, we have the return proposal.
Everyone is welcome to vote for the return proposal. Some might be saying, "Yes, I'd like to see this bar raised," and that's it.
That does not prevent anyone from receiving funding. They simply need to get over the bar. The vote for the return proposal doesn't always mean, "No." Future proposals have not been published yet so it's impossible to say no to those, for example.
In the case of SPL, the bar was set at 29m HP the day it went live. Today the bar is set at 29m HP. So even if people did say, "No" to SPL by utilizing the return proposal (people are welcome to say no here), it's still the same goal they had when they started.
At any moment, anyone currently supporting a proposal can remove their vote. That could lead to the loss of funding. Anyone participating knows this. It's the life they signed up for. It is what it is.
Wasn't meant to be easy. It's as flexible as it needs to be. Notice someone spending the money on drugs and vacations instead of what's outlined in the proposal, there are several ways to put a stop to it.
but literally nobody ever looks at whether any proposal is viable, if it ever achieves its goals, nor if the money is even spent as described, nor is there any discussion about the value to Hive and whether it helps support the chain.
This part isn't true. People are talking about this stuff nonstop.
In other words...
This next part hardly ties in to what you said previously
And it's proven more than 20 participate. Also, Hive is more than social media. SPL is a game, for example.
And I don't understand how altering the DHF would make the social media experience somehow different. Or maybe your wording has me confused.
Other than that, I hope you're well.
it all seems terribly inefficient and deeply unprofessional to me. sorry.

I stiil think proposals need more thorough vetting and management and hive is being less resonsible than would be optimal about how the dhf is used.
I would agree some proposals get talked about a lot; the "let's buy a car" one was popular!
Yes, more than 20 might particpate, but unless a certain 20 do, forget it.
Sircork's return post is worth a read, I think you'd agree?
I am indeed well, thank you, and hope you are too!
Thanks

This doesn't mean that more than 20 control. The level of their control is determined by the weight of their stake, and to imply that all participants exercise equal control of the DHF is disingenuous. Some votes are more powerful than others, and some few votes exert more control than >99% of votes. Whether that's 20 or more, or fewer, has not been established.
