I was the one to bring up the DAO, but the situation is completely different when you get into the details.
The DAO was hugely hyped by early eth adopters. If you were into eth, you were into The DAO. For the DAO to be hacked was like eth being hacked. When vitalik and the eth devs supported it, it was easy for the community to fall in line.
Any Craig shenanigans would have absolute 0 support and be the exact opposite.
Less than 10%, and that’s generous.
