Meme projects need to break free from founder-centric models. Here's the thing: core teams and technical leads represent just a fraction of what makes these communities thrive. The real power lies with the community—the attention, the holders, the people actually driving adoption and engagement. It's time to rethink fee structures entirely. Instead of extracting value through traditional mechanisms, let the market and community participation determine what's fair. Shift incentives so that aligned holders and engaged members benefit more directly. That's how we rebuild meme culture—by putting governance and economics back in the hands of those who actually care. Community-first, community-driven, community-owned.

Well said, it was about time. The era of founders' exploitation should come to an end.

Sounds good in theory, but in reality, it's still the big players calling the shots. Community governance is just for show.

Well said, the community must truly have the power, and we shouldn't let a few founders monopolize everything.

After all this talk, it ultimately comes down to who has more coins in hand and who has the final say.

That's right, the founder-centric model should have died long ago. True power is in the hands of retail investors; why should they still be exploited by the team?

Well said, finally someone spoke out. Meme coins should be decided by the community, not by founders trying to harvest profits.

To be honest, the meme coin model where the founders call the shots has long been outdated. It's just a bunch of people scamming retail investors.

nah this founder extraction narrative hits different when you map the actual liquidity dynamics... community participation as price discovery mechanism? that's literally just restating what happens at equilibrium lol
