Well there are much different onchain votings systems, some better then others i think coins like Tezos and Decred are great, prevent forking and also let people help taking decisions.
Gamed voting is mostly cause people create a system where people dont have to put their money where their mouth is, thats why for exemple decred got tickets and tezos a bond and roll.
This will let people have more good intention for the voting cause they actually have to own the coin and put it at stake. Tricking this system is expensive and also put your own coins at risk.
Like i said its experimental but we def. going to have a look at it.
Internet lowers the inhibitions most people have when they interact with each other. Which is why forums and social media are such cesspools.
In fact that unfiltered behavior has seeped into our physical societies. We are in the age of meme wars, in which people are brainwashed, every news article has an agenda, all nuance is eradicated and science has become something to be ashamed of. We stopped thinking with our brains and started trusting our gut feelings.
If we cannot even get democracy right in the real world I have a hard time believing any good can come from a virtual democracy.
