Actually, everyone understands that the social mining/points system ultimately is just selling a sense of "identity." When the badge lights up, it feels like you haven't stayed up all night in vain. But recently, I’ve really felt stupid: in order to maintain consecutive check-ins, I even sneakily go repost and comment during meetings, and my phone vibrates, making me feel guilty... Honestly, my time is being drained, I haven't earned much on-chain, and my emotions are taking a hit first.
Now, when I see new protocols, I still try them out—I'm stubborn but soft-hearted. But I set a simple rule for myself: no more than half an hour of fussing. If it works, I use it; if not, I forget it. Don’t turn your daily life into a task list just for a "possible airdrop." Especially lately, with modularization and the DA layer narrative hype making developers excited, I (the user) am completely confused. In the end, I just think, "Let’s just max out the points first"... Anyway, I’m not going to keep pace anymore.
