While I appreciate the quality of your contributions and respect your involvement in the community, I wanted to share some observations. As a follower of your content on X, I've noticed that your posts, while valuable, do not consistently stand out in a memorable or unique way compared to other creators and Polkadot supporters who contribute without compensation.

It's also important to note that Twitter/X already provides financial incentives for influencers based on their follower base and traffic generation.

This raises a broader question for the community: **Should the Polkadot treasury fund every X account that posts positively about Polkadot?

What specific criteria or metrics should we use to determine when an influencer account warrants treasury support versus another?**

Given that these decisions are subjective and open to interpretation, I personally find it difficult to justify using community funds in this manner.

While I appreciate your work, I will be voting NAY. Like many others, I have personally invested in DOT without any expectation of compensation for the time or effort I put into supporting Polkadot. My involvement comes from a place of genuine interest, and I believe this should be the driving force for everyone in the community.

With the passing of referendum 1166, Marketing Bounty 2.0 https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1166, all marketing and outreach referenda must be proposed to the Marketing Bounty as approving additional marketing and outreach referenda will increase that 10% treasury income significantly.
Our recommendation is for all marketing and outreach referenda to be submitted the Marketing Bounty exclusively.
