Last week I published a poll to give the Hive Community a decentralised voice to whether we should carry on funding certain projects or not. First of all I would like to declare that this is not a Valueplan post. This is my own post asking the Community what they are in favour of and not in favour of funding with the Hive marketing budget. Many Hive users might vote for Valueplan in the DHF but do not agree with some of their funding projects so I decided to publish polls for the top 10 projects to gauge whether the Community is in favour or not. . This was a poll to gauge whether the community think the rally car is a viable project to keep funding or whether it should be winded down . I ran the poll for 7 days.
As @buttcoins pointed out last week that "the biggest poll vote is ambivalence" which is very true. We got 41 votes in total which is probably disappointing for such a vote but I'm only a small fish in a big pond. Also there may be some biase as the people I know and connect with are dead against the funding of the rally car.
One thing that did surprise me is that the people that voted aren't exactly tin foil helmet people. They are Hive abiding low KE ratio , very established accounts in the Hive Community, many with high HP so it is a poll that has established that not all the Hives whales or middle class are agreeing to the number 1 project on Hive which is interesting to me.
41 Votes in Total
Voted to wind down Rally Car Funding: 39
Total HP of Voters to Wind Down : 3,564,529.12
Voted to Keep Funding :2
Total HP of Voters to keep Funding : 316,901.99
Even though we only got 41 votes and 39 voted to wind down the project, these 39 votes still accounts for 3.5 million Hive votes which is hive considering the small sample size of the poll. I would love if someone more prominent in the Hive Community that get 100 comments whenever they post, if only they were to do a poll. We might get a much larger sample size and more debate around the positive effects. The rally car driver may even vote to keep funding himself. 😄. But anyway it is what it is and the poll is the pole. Tomorrrow I shall do a poll about the borehole funding which may have a more balanced vote.
