Hello and welcome to Polkadot's OpenGov. This will be a NAY for us. As a Polkadot validation operation we should be inclined to vote in favor further staking visibility for the ecosystem but we choose to vote against 1140 due to the existing explicit biases that Staking Rewards has for their recommended validator lists as a part of their operations. So funding this behavior should not be in the interest of the treasury as this will only boost the visibility of the big validation operations with significant marketing funds and sponsoring partners of Staking Rewards even further, all done with public funds.

For those reasons, public funds like the Polkadot treasury should be in favor of the inclusion and development of unbiased and ranked lists that not only favor a certain party's partner, rather with a more objective focus which we believe it is possible. A previous attempt like referendum 1062 would be more suitable as a recipient of the treasury funds for such tasks as long as there is proof that the result can be unbiased, something that we have shared in private with the proposer of 1062.

Remember to verify your on-chain identity as well as posting the decision deposit.

Really, Polkadot has a vision for the entire chain, and we need to promote the implementation of this vision. Of course, we should actively solve the problems encountered in this process, rather than giving opposing opinions from the beginning. This attitude is really unacceptable.

In addition, Polkadot has such excellent ecological technology. What do we need? We need users, we need more users who are currently not in the ecosystem.

This is an opportunity to reach more users, and we should find ways to seize it.
