HI BBStudios, Thank you for submitting this grant. I voted no because I feel like there could have been more details in the expenditures. You are going to use this grant to purchase art to give away, which is an idea I can support. But my issue is: *How do you choose which art you going to purchase?* A grant of this size could easily be used to turn around and buy art from friends, family, or even the recipient of the grant. What safeguards to you have in place to prevent this? What protocol do you use when choosing which art will be purchased?

[quote="BBStudios, post:6, topic:15665"] That look like 500 to you? [/quote] You should at least take time to do additions before trying to prove me wrong with a screenshot that confirm what I said :grimacing: 188+118+52+44+24+24+23+18+15+10 = 516

The remaining $8k will be used to hire a TikTok and Twitch operator to cover the battles and to pay myself and bake.eth a little compensation for running the battles. To push back against HPrivakos: This is peanuts money compared to what's being authorized. We are buying art and giving it away to players, that's not the same as just giving away tons of money.

[quote="dao, post:1, topic:15665"] Decentraland barely manages to get over 1k players on a good day. [/quote] There are 500 concurrent users constantly, no way there is only 1k players per day Most P2Es are doomed to fail and [POAP is not a good tool anymore](https://discourse.poap.xyz/t/request-for-more-links-for-public-event-in-decentraland/8092/11) IMO. The budget says 12x1k + 5k, that's 7k missing to go to 25k. I don't think giving away money is a good way to keep people. People will come for a few minutes to try to grab the prize for sure, but it's not a good solution to keep them on the long time. [quote="BBStudios, post:4, topic:15665"] Well we have 2 whale NO votes, might as well pack it in. [/quote] The NOs are less than 1M, it's doesn't change anything to the proposal exvept showing a non agreement to it. If you consider 100k a whale, you might also say that there are two whales voting YES

Well we have 2 whale NO votes, might as well pack it in. It would be really helpful to get feedback from people who vote no.

Good idea, I also think we need something like Sandbox seasons but I guess we need more serious and global approach to do it.
