Recently, I've come across a bunch of "interactive airdrop grabbing" tutorials. Honestly, there are many tutorials, but I prefer those that clearly lay out the costs, failure rates, account bans, and witch hunt risks. Otherwise, after reading, you'll just feel more eager to rush in... and then end up getting countered and drained.
My current approach is a bit cautious: first, set a "learning fee cap" for each chain/project, and stop once it's exceeded; then break down the operations into very mechanical steps, like only doing actions I can clearly explain, avoiding paths that are just for increasing counts. In short, it's about using simple rules to control actions, rather than relying on willpower.
Lately, Layer 2 has been competing in TPS, fees, and subsidies, with a lot of heated discussion, but what I care more about is: whether the rules can be changed on the fly, and whether on-chain data can be easily recognized as script traffic at a glance. Anyway, I prefer doing less and acting like a normal user, rather than turning my wallet into an experiment field just to avoid FOMO.
