Polkadot Marketing Bounty 2.0

Full proposal

Ah, the “Marketing Bounty 2.0” proposal—it’s essentially a proposal dressed up in buzzwords, hefty promises, and an astronomical budget of 200,000 DOT per month for six months. They claim to be “revolutionizing” marketing with a reformed structure and oversight, yet the proposal sounds like a corporate daydream fueled by vague “community engagement” promises and overpaid curators charging €100 per hour. Where’s the focus on actual deliverables? Sounds like a black hole of funds, where the only clear growth will be in those “curator” bank accounts.

And let’s not overlook the padding here: multiple curators, advisors, specialists, and “watchdogs”—it’s almost as if they’re trying to create a miniature bureaucracy within Polkadot just to manage marketing. Throwing titles around doesn’t magically equal results. Their so-called transparency and ethics might as well be marketing fluff themselves.

You know something’s fishy when the “success metrics” section boils down to vague promises of “flexibility in metrics” and “evolution over time.” Translation: we’ll figure it out later, and hopefully no one will notice the DOT disappearing into thin air.
