I don’t think gradually shutting down the client incentives program is the right way forward.

> torn on this .. while i respect the hustle, building in public, taking community requests, etc... i go back to the client incentive board and see you just got your client ID like 3 months ago and already #7 on the board? I feel like with some more promotion you're on your way to the top.. and worry that this may push unfunded clients (even ones above you currently on the client incentive dash) to submit similar props. Would like to see more promoting the client on socials to boost use and increase your incentives (i just checked your x and fc and its been a while). good luck.

> DAO voted against spending a few dollars on taxes over compliance for clients.
> So it feels strange to start another marathon of funding niche clients again by funding a new client over 100x of taxes that DAO might owe on client-incentives.
