I had suggested that instead of burning the tokens for it to be set as a @pob-fund beneficiary post.

I think this is a much better way of utilising a daily post that adds value to the platform. We haven't really dove into how liquid funds should be managed on the @proofofbrainio account but I have the opinion that using those for funding has some ethical problems which we still have to explore (or at least learn more about from proofofbrainio).

Maybe we should create a handful of witnesses for POB to make these decisions.

Everyone with stake is technically a witness (in simple terms) and I believe there are plans to introduce a governance bot to the platform to help with proposals and decisions. This means that distribution, already priority number one imo, is even more important for the long-term success of the platform.
