Memo 0x5c45abb2…476bd3 on Ethereum

+1 > I’m fully in support of continuing the Nouns Esports journey. As a more 'behind the scenes-work' member of the esports community I've seen many orgs come and go, I initially thought Nouns Esports was just another organization entering the space with cryptobacked partnerships and startup promotion intentions. When I jumped in to learn more I couldn’t have been more wrong. My curiosity about what Nouns Esports really had to offer led me to meet Ohan, Peter, and Sasquatch. They showed me that they really do have genuine passion and love for these games and their communities. > Esports communities can super vary across different games, but Nouns Esports has found meaningful ways to engage with and support those in spaces the spaces they've moved into. I've totally seen them uplift and empower the communities they’ve joined, like straight up first hand for real for real. I also was able to contribute to and become more involved with Nouns too! In 2024 I worked with Nouns Esports on photo, video, and media projects, and even won one of the Nouns Rounds! Nouns Rounds have been some of the most fun things around in the Smash community. > What makes keeping Nouns Esports alive so important is how much they’ve done for a community in the short time they've been around. Their team of people with passion, technical expertise and genuine care have brought invaluable support and positivity to the players and the communities around them. This dedication is why I think its super duper important to continue the this journey and I'm so excited for whats in store for 2025! +1 > We commend the team and players for the inroads they've made thus far, but we are not sold. > > The amount of money this DAO has invested into the Esports scene to date is indeed a hard pill to swallow, and it's clear this approach is not a sustainable model for the DAO in its current state. When staff publicly say, "when the money is gone the ⌐◨-◨ will go," we are not filled with confidence for the future. > > Wages at 55% of a budget this large feels off. +1 > I can't see how this will bring the visibility at scale (apart from the Smash Bros one, oc) and the price is crazy high for what's being delivered.
