I couldn't listen to all of it, as I have been busy with fixing stuff around the home. But I listened half-ish of it.

To me, this seems like a much more productive discussion than yelling at discord that we have to cut everything. Projects' budgets line-up with what I thought they were spending their payments on. Payroll is one of the hardest thing to cut when it is a small team.

Transparency is important, but we should also be vigilant against fake transparency reports. I don't think such reports would come from projects that were on call today. I think most projects that are funded through DHF are not as opaque as we make them out to be.

Marketing is one of those areas where we have been deficient, our return on what we have spent on marketing in my opinion have been abysmal. Spending money to chase partnerships that don't materialize seems like a waste to me. Someone said if we spent those money on listing Hive on exchanges, we would have gained more exposure, or at least more ramps to get into Hive. And I agree with that sentiment. There should be better ways for us to get a return on our marketing investments. I am not a marketing guy, but even I can see that.

I am not sure how the retention and onboarding part would pan out. It is too early to say anything without seeing it in action.
