Thanks for your questions, Ian. I've found that my quality content still adds value to me (and others like you) long after 7 days, so I'm not concerned about that. They often lead to new followers and new votes in the future.

As to your other questions:

1. I can't speak for other BPs and their strategies, but I'd love to see more community run block producers. Maybe once we finish doing all the hard work of completely launching the DAC on chain and building the full DAC Toolkit, other BPs will take advantage of it and reorganize as DACs themselves. It's possible they don't want to do it (yet) because of the perceived risk of an untested model. It's also really hard. It's easier to centralize everything, take the BP reward money as your own, and do what you like with it.

2. eosDAC is a pioneer in terms of DAC enabling. If DACs are the future (and I believe they are), then eosDAC members (token holders who have registered) will be at the forefront of empowering and enabling the future. I imagine many new DACs will launch and airdrop on a community (eosDAC) who understands what it is they are building and want to support it. The BP revenue (even as a backup) is nice, but ultimately (to me) the token is about governance and owning a stake in the platform that launches the future. I imagine eosDAC will enable many different chains and enjoy rewards from them as well.

While we're talking, I should mention that registration is open right now at https://members.eosdac.io/
