Would it be rational to support something that did well in the past, just because they did well in the past?

Saddles. They did well in the past. Want to go all in on saddles with me?

I think if someone was directly asking for funds to cover the costs of productive actions in the past, I'd feel comfortable supporting that, if those actions were contributing to the future, in a way that can be observed.

I don't see thousands of people supporting that proposal. Yet one of the claims to fame was attracting thousands of people.

I don't care how much HP anyone has. They already have an account here and all they need to do is push a button to support a proposal.

Hype is useless. Why am I not seeing these people supporting the proposal!

Am I to just believe they exist? Or does this lead me to believe they don't?
