View submission: The next phase for Donuts
Eight months ago, when community points were introduced, there is no mention of governance in the OP, and in fact *you* are in the comments arguing against introducing governance. Now you want to shut it down because of the lack of governance? I don't understand your perspective.

Governance has turned out to be somewhat interesting, but needs work (better token distribution). I was skeptical, but frankly open to trying it out and defended this experiment *at first.*
What I am against is reducing Donuts to a CURRENCY tradable outside of Reddit. I think it’s unwise with appropriate safeguards which do not exist and will encourage spamming. Monetization was not even on the radar back then.
And now, this seems like it will be the main purpose of Donuts. Is there other functionality that is going to be relevant?
Believe me, given how it evolved, I am embarrassed that I ever supported this experiment in a meaningful way.
