There is these companies called Amul and Lijjat Pappad in India. They were both non-internet DAOs. Still are. Itās not that new of a concept.
On side note: Letās not use adhominem on each other. I will read all the replies later.

I agree that ad hominem attacks should have no place in the discourse. Letās disagree without being disagreeable.

I apologize for distracting from the topic, but is there a site where I can read more about Amul and Lijjat Pappad, preferably in English?

Hi. Itās a famous Coop. Hereās a Wikipedia Article for start on Amul: Amul - Wikipedia
For Lijjat Pappad run by Women: Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Papad - Wikipedia
Do tell me if I misunderstood DAOs in anyway when I related it with this model.
If you want in-depth business model, then please tell me. I have saved it somewhere.

Oh, Iāve read a little bit about workerās coops but havenāt automatically thought of DAOās that way, but I guess there are striking similarities apart from the decentralizations of a DAO. Itās an interesting way to think about it!

Yes. Imagine Coops on internet; but rather than government regulated co-operation, a blockchain smart contract regulated co-operation! I think this is one of the ways to explain DAOs to people who are new to this term.

Thank you for clarifying the point that you wish to make.
What about other countries? Just doing something like this for India could be considered discrimination to any person outside of India. Rewarding a specific demographic like thisātechnically could warrant a lawsuit from anyone else in the world given that decentralized is what we aim for. As to where there was no announcement or public speaking of the airdrop and the being of reward was solely by chance and not directed towards any types of persons, demographic or other discriminative category.
I donāt think the intent was discriminatory as it was to seek inclusivity of a country whose people do not have the per capita means to participate.

I wasnāt exploring that the intent was discriminatory. Only that it could be perceived as such. As a side note discrimination can still take please whether there was intent or not.
There are people who canāt afford it in every country. Iām totally against this and donāt really see the justification. As a comparative reference; that would be like certifying someoneās ability out of pity because they couldnāt pay for an exam fee etc
If we are talking about ādiscriminationā, I donāt think itās bad if the intent is right. Take for example āLoveā. Thatās the biggest form of discrimination where you exclude every human for the sake of one.
As for your comparison example, I think itās flawed. Ability of a person has little to do with their financial blockade.
Last year, Polygon Matic and Solana grew within India. Most influencers in India talked about these 2 excessively. Therefore, more people in India joined the platforms and DAOs built over it.
We either move fast when a huge market is still ripe with potential or left to scratch the leftovers when the others have already created an ecosystem within that market.
Airdrop was one such idea I derived using the example of JIO marketing campaign and how Reliance JIO helped made internet a household thing within last 5 years. From 10-15% to whooping 50%+ market penetration in Internet users. Balaji tweeted the exact numbers even.
Similar case with UPI penetration and digital payments.
If airdrop is not the answer, maybe we can come up with something if we have the intent to spread this DAO in developing markets. Otherwise, no harm in targeting the developed nations and their market specifically.

can we close this topic ?
I agree it should be closed. Another discussion can be open about whether something can be done by the DAO that would not involve another airdrop.

hey @ibcoder.eth I think a lot of your concerns around accessibility will be resolved by CCIP Read, which will be rolled out over the coming months. The number of people who will be onboarded to ENS with Layer 1 registrations will diminish significantly over the coming years with the introduction of CCIP Read. ENS subdomains will play a huge role in the onboarding of the next few million users. If you would like to continue the conversation, I would encourage you to jump into the Discord.
