RE: Dear Hive, we need to start being more critical about Proposals.

Exactly my thoughts! Often time I lack business cases, some sort of roadmap and weekly reports as are mandatory for agile projects which Hive definitely is. I lack whales demanding those essential business practices. Sometimes I’m amazed how much money users are willingly throwing into a bin with some of those proposals. This is what we get instead of Steemit inc. we need to be responsible.

Also good point that you brought up is lack of flags in terms of proposals. We should be able to vote against the proposals (I understand why there are no flags in terms of witness votes but proposals are very different imho) In the UI there should be weekly reports displayed so users could effectively check each week whether the proposals they helped to approve are actually doing something.

Another problem I have is the Hivesigner X Keychain...Both are doing exactly the same thing. Both are being funded at the moment. Hivesigner wants disgusting 50K HBD whereas Keychain is willing to do the job for LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE. But effectively we are throwing up 75K for this which in my book is ROFL.

Anyway Im super glad that you brought this matter up. Instant reblog!
