In the past, I was the type to get itchy hands when farming airdrops; whenever someone in the group shouted "last week," I would rush in. As a result, the interaction costs were often more expensive than the airdrop itself, and I was educated by project teams with all kinds of "anti-snipe" rules. Now I just honestly take a quick look first: where does this protocol's cash flow come from, how large is the subsidy proportion, and if the subsidy feels too heavy, I’d rather interact less to avoid ending up empty-handed. Also, don’t put all accounts under the same narrative; leave some traces on-chain but don’t act like a script, and don’t be too regular in frequency... Basically, make yourself look like a normal user. Recently, rumors about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-peg concerns are circulating again, and when emotions rise, FOMO becomes easier. Now I prefer to set my position and gas budget fixed; if it exceeds, so be it. That’s how I do it for now.
