I am not sure I agree with defunding the front ends. Like it is really not an absurd about of money they ask for and that is how most people use the platform is with those front ends. I have seen some people recommend the front ends advertise they are a platform build on HIVE which makes sense to me. That being said, unless we have better options I think pulling the plug on some of the DHF is a bad idea without some long-term plan for what HIVE will do.

Each proposal is different and I try to look at each proposal differently.

I also think HIVE paying maintenance for the simple things people use makes sense. Should we pay maintenance? Idk, but the idea of paying maintenance does make sense to me.

At the same time I do not think things here will ever be perfect. Like there are always going to be things that can be adjusted to improve the ecosystem.
