Could you elaborate a little more on the website idea you have? Would your aim be to make a Polkadot branded website? Or a generic wallets website, which showcases the three wallets you mentioned would be featured in the ads?
Hey Oli. Thank you for the question. It will be a Polkadot-branded website with helpful links and instructions on all things related to Polkadot. Starting with what is Polkadot (Polkadot 2.0) and how it helps developers build, secure, and scale their applications on the blockchain. How the tokens are used to buy block space, how decentralized it is, etc. This will include links to the Polkadot main site/Wiki and what a user does with Polkadot such as OpenGov/Staking(securing the network). Links to exchanges Apps like Coinbase/Gemini Exchanges (These 2 exchanges are the most legal way to access crypto in the U.S. including the state of New York and how to use them to buy Polkadot). How to send DOT from those exchanges to your wallet. How to stake for all 3 wallets. How to send back the DOT back to the exchanges if they want to sell their DOT. I will keep the website simple in order not to confuse the new users.

Is Distractive the agency of record for Polkadot? Any time there is a decent marketing proposal, Distractive responds that they ran the community backed campaign and the proposers back off as a professional courtesy. Did Distractive complete the 6 campaigns they proposed from their referendum? Having competition will only be beneficial to the community and truly decentralized. We need fresh, new marketing initiatives ~ everything and everyone that has been part of Polkadot's marketing the last 12 months should be paused because there hasn't been any significant lift or impact. Almost all marketing has been thrown away to KOLs, which 2/3 of that is wasted and should be allocated to different channels — OR just give that to the community. Stop the waste and give back to the community (directly or indirectly) — this should be the qualification for every bounty or treasury request. How are you going to contribute or give back value to Polkadot or its community — how can you assure us it's not going to waste? I like the Mars proposal bc he is backing it up and stating if we think it's a waste, we can get a refund.
We just need to have the update to the referendums that has the review or approval at each stage that releases increments of approved funds, which I believe was in place or being finalized.

Hello Adhocracy, I appreciate the thoughtful response. Unfortunately, the community response to this pre-proposal was not really great. They did not seem all that enthusiastic about the idea of targeting possibly millions of YouTube users in America when I brought up the idea in the socials. For that reason, I will probably not pursue this proposal unless by some miracle things change. This was mostly a passion project of mine. On the other hand, I always had intentions of building entertainment products in Polkadot such as videogames. For that, I will not need treasury funds. Thanks for the kind response.
