I have seen how this has been a subject linked to a high level of controversy, and although I have little time in the community, much less than you, I think I share a large part of what you say.
Merit should come first, and when you're good at something, a lot of people notice it!
Thanks for your contribution and in time we will see if some more think similar, or simply do not want to pay much attention
As the platform grows, there will be new members that have profit only and do not care about getting social. It will be a fact when POB is massed used. That is why decentralized governance is better built in the early stage before being complicated. I mean if there are two big groups that oppose each other. What then, downvotes war and flag wars. it took place in st**m in the early growth.
The way it is being proposed for now does not have solid foundations to be implemented, if I am honest I have seen whales that do a great job and I do not see them asking for Governance every week.
I believe that a member who works and is committed to the community will be evident in the short or medium term and will surely be worthy of a delegation.
What is before your eyes, does not need glasses.
If you look at the age of the community is young, that said, it is only a matter of a short time for the committed actors to come out, not by self-proclamation, but for the community itself to say loudly and in line with their acts and deeds, that is worthy of a Delegation and be part of a government if it is the case.
Sometimes we are so used to being governed, that when it is absent, we seek at all costs to be so.
Let's hope that when that happens there will not come a feeling of regret, for making a hasty decision!
