Hello everyone!

Bounty 12 has evolved over the past few years into an impressive content generation machine that supports early-stage creators on their journey to becoming confident and independent stewards of the story of Polkadot and Kusama by incentivizing them with KSM rewards and sub-bounties. Now we're taking the next step forward. In an effort to decentralize even more, Directors of specific units will now completely and independently head their units while utilizing WagMedia's tools to further the growth of the creators incubating under their tutelage.

This proposal aims to continue the funding of the Paraverse Content Creators (previously General Unit in WagMedia) which supports creators who report on and create original content to help promote Polkadot and Kusama, especially content focused on parachains, the relay chains that secure them, governance, and general principles collectively held by the community. For greater than a year, creators within this group have generated content on the relay chains and nearly every parachain in the ecosystem. This content has been produced in many different formats including interviews with founders, long-form articles, Twitter threads, YouTube and TikTok videos, and more.

The tools and methods we use to evaluate and reward content have improved as well and you can [learn all about the proposal here.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hhu6K0sMqlsND2rxCNmHj55zdc6ATRKm3KxOJbSmpPs/edit?usp=sharing)

You can see the community discussion of the proposal over the past week [with response to comments here.](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/2089)

We appreciate your support and look forward to spreading the story of Polkadot and Kusama even further!
