Aren't you guys also getting caught up in all these "complete tasks to earn points" schemes, just like clocking in at work... I saw the airdrop season is back again, and I feel a bit itchy, but I'm also a little lazy. Honestly, badges and identities can prove you've been here, but they don't necessarily prove you've earned anything; not to mention that the current task platforms are getting more ruthless, with more and more steps, ultimately feeling like exchanging time for a possibly invalid ticket.
My current approach is pretty simple: first check if the chain is congested again or if active addresses are increasing, then decide whether to participate; do what’s easy and quick—like continuous check-ins, inviting people, filling out a bunch of forms... forget it. Savings are draining my life, so I leave some energy for things I truly want to participate in. That’s it for now.
