ugh, i'm sorry i wasn't able to provide any feedback on this direction while it was in the candidate stage or discussion on farcaster stage. i'm very much on the same boat as wilson.
i think there's this view that only if we had used streams we'd have saved a lot of eth from grifts etc but i don't share that view. if it was then we would have built the voter social norm of shooting down props that don't use streams. the primary defense mechanism against props that might be scams have been to be very skeptical of props that are first time builders immediately asking for large sums of eth and asking to divide things into milestone and evaluate execution and alignment over a duration of time. we only scale in to a project when we have confidence that the bulider understands our culture & values and has a track record of delivering.
so i think this is a bit over engineering for a problem that might not exist or we might not have the consensus on. if we think streams is really an important norm we should build then we could easily enforce that if voters were convinced that that is a priority and if the standard streams we have right now doesn't cut it for some reason then we can think about adding different stream strategies or propdate requirements etc but personally as a voter i'm not convinced of the problem nor propdate required streams as the solution.
if we've come to this place from a perspective of like how can we get more props to use propdates then i wonder if we should put a carrot on it instead. more ppl will write propdates if more ppl read them and they have consequence. i've long felt that we should have some sort of quarterly nouns award for best props voted on (https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/nouns-retro-awards-ae65e700f3f8904ac1007d47a5309dd26f8146c0) and if having new propdates that quarter is a requirement to be entered into the pool of eligible props and that they become the basic information the voters read through to assess impact before casting their retro award votes that might be a positive reason for props to use propdates more and voters to read them more.
