It's not an either or question - there's plenty of room for both.
That being said, I will again point out that your proposal that essentially says, "give me the money and I'll figure out how to spend it" isn't something I'd go for no matter who asked, regardless of trust. Turning this into a "Nathan versus the Hive Elite" (whoever you think that is) fight does nothing but foster negative feelings and is ultimately bad for our community.
Lastly, please consider addressing the list of questions @ybanezkim26 asked in his reply to you on your other post - it would be a good starting point to putting together a more reasonable proposal.
Yes absolutely. I personally value community driven marketing much higher, specially a decentralised network like HIVE.
I take the responsibility for not explaining the proposal well with more clear details, action plans and how the fund will being used. It's an idea that have developed over time went through serious of iteration from 10 months of trial and error.
I'm working on presenting the final version of this proposal for the people who don't trust me or have little idea of what we're doing on Twitter all these months. Me setting my witness node and putting up third proposal even after two failure attempts is something that in line with my long term vision of creating competitive and innovative HIVE ecosystem that empower entrepreneurship not politics nor status game.
Elite word is used here because we want to create a truly decentralised HIVE network that runs by community for community. I personally feel there is a small group people in HIVE who're playing politics and creating an environment where I felt it's about who you know and not how much long term value you're brining to our network.
Responding to @ybanezkim26 now :)

Always been the case.
You're most probably right.
Also, I do understand the complexity of decentralised network like Hive and we as a community was betrayed by many people in the past.
Luckily, we as a community have a voice and stake, It's time to empower competition/innovation/growth. As we grow bigger and become more decentralised, there will be less politics and more community building and dapps building.
2021 is a massive year for our HIVE community.
