@rocksymiguel While I’m really sad to see your no vote…I must say, I respect the lengths you went to give SANDDAO SIP your fair consideration. Muchas gracias 
I was super excited to read what you wrote about contacting 40 voters and their responses. Just the fact that you did that and shared the knowledge here was really valuable to me. I’m not at all surprised to see what they responded with.
I’m a builder too. I understand firsthand what they’re saying. MetaWorlds studio hasn’t been able to monetize with how things are either and I spent a whole year trying my hardest to do so. I’ll be doing a podcast on The Business of Sandbox Experience Publishing later this year to show the numbers. If the DAO hadn’t launched when it did in May, I would have stepped back from the Sandbox after Builder’s Challenge 1, for the same reasons Tuschay and Tempest did. Bonus exit interview with Tuschay on SANDDAO 30 here.
In any case. What I’m hearing from you, Biversen, Kurchato, and Hishmad is very fair. There are other kinds of SIPs that builders may feel helps our interests. I encourage all of them.
My passion are SIPs that help build networks, connections, and a robust place for our ecosystem to function in. Things like working groups, councils, tech stacks, governance processes, podcasts, and meeting places.
I think there is enough room in the budget for all of us to contribute in the way we’re passionate. I don’t think it’s a zero-sum game.
