Proposal:
A Simplified Thread on Twitter about Kusama. The thread will be a basic overview for beginners.
Why Is This Needed?
Kusama can be extremely overwhelming, especially for new users outside DOT/KUSAMA.
This will save them time understanding Kusama and what it is attempting to accomplish.
How Much Time Will Be Spent Writing This Thread? (Roughly)
Research: 20 Hours?
Creating Custom Diagrams & Material: 4 Hours?
Writing Twitter Thread: 3 Hours?
Total Time: ~30 Hours
How Much Compensation Is Being Requested?
Since the estimate is 30 hours of work, the requested amount for this proposal is 0 KSM. This is not a typo. ZERO KSM.
(For the proposal I had to type in a value greater than 0, so I typed in 0.0001 KSM. The Beneficiary Account is the Treasury.)
What's The Catch?
There is none.
Why Post A Proposal Then?
Wanted to create a proposal that was too good to reject.
How Do We Know The Thread Will Be Professional And Not Trolling?
Simplify DeFi aims to simplify and educate. This thread will be an ever-green resource to help the audience understand KSM and save time researching.

CONCLUSION:
Kusama can be extremely overwhelming for people outside the community.
This thread will be a great resource to provide a simplified overview of Kusama and what it is attempting to accomplish.
For an estimated amount of 30 Hours of work and 0 KSM (ZERO KSM), hopefully this proposal is a no-brainer :)
Kusama is a big and confusing topic for new people. Someone wants to make a simple Twitter thread to help beginners understand Kusama better. They will spend about 30 hours doing research, making pictures, and writing the thread. They are not asking for any money for this work. They want to make a helpful and easy-to-understand thread about Kusama. They have a Twitter account with 9,000 followers and a YouTube channel with 5,000 subscribers. They have made similar threads and videos before that got lots of likes and shares. They hope this proposal is easy to accept because it will be helpful and they are not asking for any money.
