I've had a subtle resistance to replicating cooperative models in DAOs, though I couldn't quite articulate why. Even when I read Austin Robey's "What Co-ops and DAOs Can Learn From Each Other," I felt this approach might not become the new consensus. This perspective crystallized for me recently: "DAOs oscillate between mimicking cooperatives and traditional companies." This observation feels much closer to reality. What particularly resonated was the insight about the "constant feeling of surveillance and distrust" in these systems. https://paragraph.xyz/@protector/why-cooperative-style-social-innovation-is-mid

While I agree that token-based governance isn't the only path and that whale dominance creates VCAOs (Virtually Centralized Autonomous Organizations - clever wordplay), I'd argue the challenge runs deeper than just governance structure. The cooperative model isn't necessarily the answer - it's another existing pattern we're trying to force-fit into this new context. The real innovation might lie in developing entirely new coordination mechanisms that acknowledge both the technical constraints of blockchains and the psychological aspects of trust in pseudonymous systems. Instead of swinging between cooperative and corporate models, perhaps we should be asking: What unique governance primitives can emerge from the inherent properties of blockchains themselves?
