Imo, DAOs don’t work for everyone/every type of being.
It’s just another way to organize, record, share rewards, compensate etc.
Village tribes also have their own hierarchies or value-system(s), jungle natives have their shamans, etc.
I personally find it somewhat inefficient if there’s too many people involved, can be long-winded (like me, when I’m on a roll??? )… It’s like a dilution of power & expertise if not correctly setup.
A startup would have a different co-ordination to another startup &/or mere community outings based on leisure, recreation, interest. So the DAO rules would be setup differently.
Imo the people who make too much of a big deal about them have (internally felt, might be conscious or not) issues with ‘power balance’… Hence a need to try & experiment with different configurations.
Someone(s) would need to start the DAO. Then it would need maintenance & momentum… Just like with anything else. It just depends who values what & rewards based on the criteria that suits the (initial/future) DAO members.
How’s this different from being a startup co/founder & product-market fit? Idk. 😆🤷
