Lately, I've become a bit numb from constantly scrolling through airdrop information, afraid of missing out on something, yet also worried that after interacting, the project team might retaliate (basically, it's like paying transaction fees as tuition). My current approach is pretty cautious: I only interact with protocols I genuinely know how to use, ones that can easily solve my needs; if I have no need, I just skip it, no need to create on-chain traces just because "it might happen," it's too easy to get caught up.

And recently, everyone has been criticizing the unfairness of the validator/MEV sorting system... I also instinctively factor in whether my transaction might get front-run or pay extra gas, so my mindset has become even more relaxed. I used to follow a bunch of "interaction checklist numbers," feeling anxious every day; later, I unfollowed a few, and it actually felt better—less noise, more focus on things with genuine aesthetic or product value. Airdrops are a bonus if you get them, but if not, don’t turn yourself into a tool just to chase them.
