Big fan of Mucho! Supporting for the same reasons as the prior prop

Supporting Mucho as a nounish mr Beast model with less waste and more love!
My feeling regarding funding is that this should be enough to get a positive feedback loop going and I would rather ignore the 6 months term and just consider this your total runway to prove your revenue model. Would also suggest to get a domain name and build a website, like a wall showing all projects, and maybe merch too.
Let’s goooo muchoooo

Thank you for taking feedback and revising, Necfas. Excited to see what you can do!

(noun40 voting via agora)

gave a fair amount of thought here and reached out to necfas for more discussion as well. one budget interpretation detail that wasn't clear from the prop was that 40% of the content creation budget (so 24% of overall) is going into the "action budget" which is the budget for the good deed they will shoot for the content). so while this budget not might be as exactly impact oriented since it can involve some mr beast like stunt dynamics, still i think the money that's spent for a charitable cause in this prop is closer to roughly half (25% + 24%) than the quarter that i originally thought after reading.

i do think this is meaningful jump in budget. last 6 mo prop was 159k. this one is 422k, so that's about a 2.6x increase.

i struggled with the decision but ultimately deciding to vote FOR. first off, i think the fact that in my view necfas and much has always went above and beyond and over delivered on prop execution over the past 2 years holds weight with me. last prop's deliverables didn't include millions of views on ticktok and instagram. they just found the right angle that could resonate with the 30 day challenge and took a bet and committed to it and achieved it all with a scrappy budget. my general principle in followup props is to be more open minded with prop builders that have over delivered in prior props.

also a more nounish mr beast like charity media enterprise (less pure stunt-y and more actual good but still viral enough to be sustainable) has always been something i've hoped nouns could produce as one of the things we export to the world. it makes sense that we would meaningfully subsidize it at the beginning if we want to see this experiment play out and mucho is by and far the best candidate exploring this charity media angle in our 2+ year history of nousn. mucho is already getting millions of views on their content on both tiktok and instagram with tight budget and i'm excited to see what they can do with more. make us proud!

showing support though agree with bix around vast majority of funding being around media/video - would prefer to see more $ on direct impact and lower cost/budget/raw footage

I'm looking at your instagram! I'm rooting for you!

i thought about this one a lot. i could go either way, but i'm not a hell yes. 422k seems too high for this sort of content strategy at this stage.

I spent a lot of time thinking on this proposal and just could not settle on a decision with enough conviction. The question I went back and fourth on is: Has what we've seen delivered so far justifiy taking a shot at this funding rate?

The Nouncil has spoken.

We discuss all Nouns proposals every week in our Discord https://discord.gg/fdjJpMeV6K. The calls are public and all are welcome!

You can find previous call recordings here: https://nouncil.notion.site/30328df718424f17a623859018497fc2?v=806b5234a2a34b619c3d5028bcd879f0&pvs=4

When it came to this proposal, a majority of voters were against, however, the poll closed without meeting the vote threshold, which means we must abstain.

Love what Mucho have done thus far. Look forward to seeing them do more, and spreading Nounish far and wide

addressing some of the VwR:

first of all, thank you for taking your time to convey your thoughts. social impact drives everything we do at Mucho. we've discovered that impact comes in many forms. growing through "see good, do good" content has taught us a crucial lesson: expanding our reach amplifies the support, interest, and leverage our social impact efforts can achieve. our 30daysgiving campaign is a prime example, bringing in over 1500 toy donations during christmas compared to the 200 we received last christmas. this surge in contributions came because more people discovered, connected with, and decided to support our cause.

the scale of mucho directly impacts our capacity for action. we're not merely spending money; we're investing it to fulfill our mission authentically, without compromising our values for brand deals or sponsorships. our commitment to organic content that resonates with our audience remains unwavering.

every video mucho produces is an act of social impact, whether it's offering meals to the homeless, rebuilding dog shelters, or helping communities recover from disasters. the size of the impact might vary, but the intent to inspire positive action is constant. this approach doesn't just aim for views; it cultivates a community eager to spread goodness, underscoring mucho's unique role in inspiring real-world change through the ⌐◨-◨.

The Amigos made a decision!

Support and supercharge our communities doing the best work.

Strong believer in the potential of Mucho to be an IRL embodiment of the ethos of Nouns.
Voting against because I think the Mucho team is misallocating resources with the 60%.

Recreating the Mr. Beast model but in DR is not a good use of the treasury. The magic of Mucho is in the social impact activations and documenting them; as shown by the audience’s comments.

I think the Mr. Beast comparisons come from the fact that Mr. Beast is kind of the weirdest form of charity: do viral challenges and stunts for a handful of videos to raise money and then give it away to people through another weird viral challenge video. His first brand deal was for $10,000; for the video he literally walked outside and gave it all to a homeless person.

I also think Mucho has the potential to not do that corny BS, and instead continue to make really good content by doing good in your community, forming partnerships to elevate your abilities, and inspire others to do it in their community. Doing stunts and going viral can be a good business strategy; tbh I’m not inspired by the ideas floated in the budget breakdown.

From what necfas has shared on Nouncil calls, he seems to have some decent mentors around him and Mucho is already working with major multinational corporations. Imo the best strategy is to double down on those relationships + partner with local non-profits that are going good work. Use your platform to amplify the good work other people are doing, bring resources to them they wouldn’t have otherwise, and create social impact activations that are big, yet authentic.

These companies have marketing budgets and charity budgets; use that to your advantage to get paid as the media company and project manager creating marketing content for their charitable efforts. That can drive the revenue to give you creative freedom to bury yourself underground for a week or rebuild someone’s house and pay their property taxes.

I hope this vote is seen by the Mucho team as vote of confidence in their ability and an effort to steer them towards what is most likely to actualize their potential into reality.

Would gladly vote FOR on a proposal to pay Mucho’s core team, purchase some media equipment, and fund some number of specific activations, (blood drive, animal shelters, dengue education.)
Also would like more detail as to what the upcoming collaborations are, big logos but light details?

I still think this is a bit too much asking.
Honestly, it's a good proposal, but please understand what's the value you are offering to the DAO compared to what you receive.
I understand how this can be big, but if you need to "burn" this amount of money, then how are you planing on scaling it? Mr. Beast can do it not because someone donated, but because the market was rewarding him along the way. Please, rethink about this, happy to see you proposing again in the future.

Voting for based on same reasons as laid out in 485. Happy about the revision!

Here are the proportions of proposal budgets allocated to social impact activations, donations, or charity in Mucho Love's prior proposals:

Proposal 1: 19 out of 24eth = 79.16%
Proposal 2: 40.35 out of 70.86eth = 56.94%
Proposal 3: $134,100 out of $159,100 = 84.28%

Current Proposal: $105,500 out of $422,000 = 25%

I would like to see Mucho Love stick to its grass roots mission of maximizing social impact through irl activations, charity and donations - larger allocation on activations, less on content creation.

This current proposal feels more like a media / content creation prop in which case I would have to compare it against Nouns x Everyone where the DAO received 76 long form videos from different creators for $225k.
