Value Plan Spending - What the fuck guys

Seriously? I knew we were basically bankrolling some folks with less than stellar oversight, but I had no idea of the actual sums going to these people ...

Is there any evidence at all that we are getting some sort of return on these activities?

Where should I go to see the value these projects bring to the Hive community and ecosystem.

(Before someone says something silly like brand awareness of sponsoring a rally car, fuck off with that nonsense unless you can measure it in concrete and validated numbers rather than feels)

I have to say, calling it the "Value Plan" is genius in an evil way. It's so patronisingly dishonest, only matched by the worst spin doctors of history.

"Don't worry your tiny little brain, the adults are 'creating value' for the whole Hive family!!1" [wicked sniggering continues]

Added:

Been thinking a lot about the waste and fraud here and it is boggling my mind.

We should spend a small % of the money going to these projects to audit the books. Get a trustworthy accountant and pay them to see where the money is going, how it is spent, and what we get in value.

I expect it would have a much higher ROI
