Recently, doing testnet tasks feels a bit like going to the gym: originally to practice moves, but then a bunch of people are staring at "can points turn into money." Honestly, once you have expectations in mind, it's easy to increase your time and effort, and the more you do, the more dissatisfied you become.

My current stop-loss rule for myself is pretty simple: spend no more than an hour a day, and stop if I go over; if the project team changes rules or adds thresholds, I consider the practice over and don't chase it anymore. Also, seeing discussions on-chain about validator income, MEV, unfair ordering, and so on makes me even less willing to treat "free labor" as an investment... Points are not shares, don’t see yourself as an employee with KPIs. That’s it for now; if I can’t keep up, I’ll withdraw.
