Just came across a project that's pushing "social mining" again—posting, sharing, tying a bunch of identities, and finally exchanging for a badge + points. To put it plainly, this whole setup is the most time-consuming: you think you're stacking future airdrops, but actually you're just performing growth for it by acting as a human router, and if it gets stuck, you have to retry yourself. Recently, the L2s are arguing over TPS, fees, and subsidies, and I'm tired of watching. Anyway, once the subsidies stop, the delays and failure modes of the points system are fully exposed—rules change, snapshots change, thresholds increase, and the experience feels just like cross-chain stuck transactions. My approach is pretty boring: on-chain verification whenever possible, and for "activity tasks" that can't be verified, I just skip them. No matter how shiny the badge, I don't want to drain my daily energy on it.
