Not gonna lie, felt a bit random at the beginning, but see their commitment to CC0 as value alignment. Also loose trust through Zora nouners.
We read through the proposal, considered it a bit, and in doing so, developed a favorable consensus, which birthed an obligation of supportive votes.

at first i was against because 50 ETH is a lot of capital for a relatively small event (800 people), but looking into this further, i think that POV is too myopic. this is probably the most forward thinking experiment happening at the intersection of crypto and culture, and imo it’s important and interesting for nouns to be involved. it’s too literal to think about this in terms of direct attention ROI. it’s about positioning nouns at the cutting edge of culture, and forming long-term relationships with people and organizations in the space that will go on to do interesting things. heavily FOR
I don't personally like reality tv shows and don't see how nouns can make an impact with this type of event. I am probably wrong, but I vote how I feels. No hate to the people putting it on, just not sure nouns dao is the right sponsor.
Mad Realities is building audience-owned TV, starting with an interactive reality TV network where the audience votes on cast, shows, and more via holding an NFT. Think TV, but owned by and voted by the community.
The finale taking place on May 1st at Webster Hall is for our first show Proof of Love, a community funded, created, participated, and decided dating show powered by NFTs. Season 0 kicked off March 13th and we've already had:
This proposal is for NounsDAO to put 50 ETH towards the festivities alongside Zora (also contributing 50 ETH) for a chance to be 800+ 20-somethings in NYC’s first touchpoint with web3 and the endless possibilities of crypto in culture. It’s also going to be really fucking fun.
Date: Sunday, May 1st
Venue: Webster Hall
IRL Audience: 800-1000 NYC based 20-somethings (50% female)
URL Audience: NFT holders of the episodes, Twitter
Run of show: In our season finale, 4 winning couples from past episodes will compete in a showdown to prove their love to the audience, where the audience is the final decider of which couple wins the jackpot prize (4.20 ETH). Anyone in the world will be able to text our hotline to vote – similar to American Idol days — and by doing so will be able to mint one of our condom NFTs as well — not so similar.
The Mad Realities team has mad respect for NounsDAO as one of the pioneers of CC0 as a viable model to spread a decentralized brand & meme.
We ourselves are making that leap, and the night will mark history as Mad Realities enters Proof of Love into Creative Commons (CC0) and allows anyone to mint full episodes of the show and most meme-worthy clips, and own a piece of reality TV.
It will be a bold experiment in putting a whole TV show in Creative Commons — along with the infinite stories that we expect our community to tell far into the future. We picture anyone in the world creating their own Proof of Love spinoff in the future — including experimenting with new formats, mediums (TikTok vs. Youtube vs. Live Stream vs. Audio vs. Snapchat, and more), themes, locations, and casts.
This proposal requests from the DAO:
Funds would be used towards live after show production, venue costs, talent booking, co-branded merchandise, marketing expenses, and a portion of the bar tab at our invite only after party at the Jane Hotel (open to NounsDAO members shall the proposal be approved 👀).
