Understanding voter fatigue, DAO voting patterns and what to do about it

Most DAOs experience a drop in voting as fatigue sets in - which can lead to reaching minimum voting thresholds for proposals down the road - here's what research shows we can do about it

Hey everyone,

Today’s newsletter is a report that @lilnounsdao commissioned a few weeks back. Essentially, all the data pointed to the fact that voter engagement was dropping as more time passed. How do we counteract that?

Well, this got me thinking: voting on DAO proposals is probably pretty similar to voting in real life elections, and increasing voter turnout campaigns have existed for decades for those. So, being the avid researcher I am, I jumped into the literature, read countless reviews and a few books, and came out with some insights - that’s the report published on daoresearch.wtf.

You can read the full report on that link, or check out the key takeaways on this Twitter thread below

Getting consistent and engaged voters is a challenge for most DAOs To understand why this is (& what we can do about it), @lilnounsdao commissioned a research report Here are the biggest takeaways for DAOs and voting 🧵 👇

And a last note - I know I haven’t been as active on this substack as of lately, but I have been around. I launched The DAM Show with a few friends over from the 10KTF community, and continue to write on Twitter.

I also have a piece coming in the coming days on the whole Moonbirds surprise cc0 fiasco, looking forward to getting that out.

You’ll hear from me again very soon,
