During the most recent macro uptrend, the unified perspective of people in governance was to increase the level of disdain for users of the platform and try to suck them dry of as much interest as possible. This occurred in various ways, and was implemented in a way that assumed a permanent bull run and a user base that would be happy to pay exorbitant fees in perpetuity. I propose specifically revisiting the increase of stable borrow rates for V2, and developing a solid structure for those to occur across Polygon as well that does not actively decentivize potential users of the protocol.
Now that the delusion of the most recent run up has come crashing down, I think it is time to fix some of the mistakes that were implemented previously. I dont have the risk assessment background to determine a proper structure for this, but I would call on someone within AAVE who does to evaluate alternative approaches.
There is nothing do to relating to V1 at this point, but it is useful in demonstrating the pattern of disdain for borrowers on this protocol - Forcing taxable transactions by removing stable borrow from V1 to “incentivize” migration and making the stable borrow rate level on V2 uncompetitive and exorbitant is not the path to long term success and creating loyal users.
