While I see the supposed humor, the accumulated time spent dealing with this spam across all dreps that took the time to read the proposals, just adds to their frustration levels and decreases the likelyhood of investing more in reading proposals. It is a rock thrown at the community windows "as a joke". It isn't funny.

Funny joke, but a waste of time and resources for DReps. I see the point of this as a critque to the level of quality and spam than can be put through this current budget process.

Given there are a lot of competing proposals for this year's limited budget, I am voting "no" and recommend trying your cash grab again at a later date (or saving reviewer time and considering this "no" permanent)

From a workshop, the North American Community Hub summarized feedback on nothosky's proposal.

The group reached a consensus to vote NO on Proposal 682 for Core budget funding, agreeing the satire was as poorly executed.

The main gripes were the lack of creative flair, minimal effort in fleshing out the joke, and zero alignment with Core priorities.

Participants enjoyed the attempt at humor but felt HOSKY fumbled the punchline, with one saying, “I wish there was more content on what lifestyle we’re funding.”

The group suggests the proposer to sharpen their comedic chops before next budget.

Will it be open-sourced?
