Lately, completing tasks on platforms really feels more and more like going to work: clocking in, taking screenshots, filling out forms, waiting for ratings, with the browser tab as the workstation... I also have to pretend to be a "real user" while guarding against witch audits. Basically, it's just gambling time for an opaque score.

And I still get itchy for more, for simple psychological reasons: seeing the progress bar and "remaining slots" makes me afraid of missing out. Even if I know it might be all for nothing, I still want to finish it. It's stupid but very real.
These days, hardware wallets are out of stock again, phishing links are everywhere, and I have to be suspicious for three seconds before sharing a "task link" in the mutual support group. Anyway, now the cost of earning rewards isn't just gas and time; mindset + security have to be factored in... For now, that's it. Tomorrow, I’ll keep being a corporate drone.
