You probably know me as the guy who is bearish on DAOs. But I want to set the record straight regarding the ENS DAO. ENS Labs is trying to create the narrative that the ENS Protocol is failing because of the DAO and its politics. Yet it's labs that has been developing and doing protocol BD the last 4 years and all numbers are indeed down because of them. The DAO has in fact created a huge community of people and companies that built around and supported ENS to help it grow to where it is today. Without a doubt, if it was not for the DAO the ENS protocol would not be where it is today. But Labs is failing in the way they develop and market ENS to new blood. And with the market being down, they probably see the writing on the wall so they thought they should just create a narrative for DAO bad -> we good that will allow them to steal the DAO's treasury so they can continue to operate despite their incompetence safely for decades into the future. The DAO was decentralized 5 years ago but as ENS Labs tokens started vesting they now effectively are in control. And instead of nurturing the very thing that brought them where they are they seem to be robbing it of its treasury so they can continue their operations. Shameful behavior.
