The DAO funding raised divergence of opinions about how well the funds are used and many projects that didn't even see the day of light after years of receiving serious money says many things about it. The influence on getting funding from DAO doesn't see to always be objective or as a reflection of all participants in this ecosystem, thus it easy to question if the DAO funding became a totalitarian mechanism on the Hive blockchain. From the side lines and as a regular user on the Hive blockchain, I can tell that at least that's how it looks like. I will not direct this at specific projects or users from the Hive blockchain that got funding without delivering, but that's reality that chips at the wellbeing of this ecosystem. And if something isn't changed about it, I feel that this long loved ecosystem might continue on an unrecoverable downpath. And to make it worse, the whales that control the DAO funding, control also the future of the Hive blockchain so it is hard (at least for me)
