The above fails to take one key fact into consideration: VP is not a budget where people present projects and get bulk sums of money. That's the DHF itself. VP is a budget where Hive community members are asked to join a promotional activity. The element to deliberate is what promotional activities we will undertake in 2026.

I'm against the idea that others have to put in work in order to present quick executive summaries for whomever to vote on. Everyone here is a stakeholder and thus owner of Hive and everyone is responsible for the work of promoting Hive. Neither myself nor any project manager is going to sit there constantly reporting to some small group who are supposedly more righteous than the rest. This isn't Steemit.

A portion of the people replying and being mentioned here put in the hours already and never asked for anything. And a portion of the people replying and being mentioned here asked to be paid. Hive promotion and organization is not a paid job. What it is is a lot of work. Everyone who wants to participate in Hive promotions and in Value Plan in general has always been welcome to. You want to work for the betterment of all of Hive, which you co-own? Come work.
