Recently, a bunch of airdrop interaction tutorials are flying everywhere, making my scalp tingle… Honestly, you think you're "grinding," but sometimes you're just giving others transaction fees + feeding data.

L2 is still arguing over TPS, fees, and subsidies, making a lot of noise, but in the end, most of the costs fall on you.

My own "patch" idea is small fixes: only interact with protocols I truly know how to use and am willing to use, keep the number of interactions not too frequent, and don't turn the path into a fixed template just to show off (it looks too much like a robot).
If you can use limit orders or batch transactions, don't go all-in at once; if gas is low, wait instead of rushing during peak times.
And most importantly: avoid contracts/frontends that clearly have a "anti-grinding" vibe; better to miss out than sacrifice liquidity… that’s all for now.
