Lately I've been back to exploring social mining and fan tokens, that "attention is mining" concept. It feels a bit off to me: you think you're mining, but you might just be carrying water for others and feeding data. I'm now more relaxed about airdrop interactions; anyway, I don't chase hype and I won't be free labor.

My own principle is pretty straightforward: if I can avoid granting permissions, I won't; if I must, I try to keep the amount small, and revoke once used; for new projects, I first test with a small account, don't treat the main wallet as an experimental field from the start. When FOMO hits, I force myself to pause and think, "If I hadn't rushed to be the first back then, would I have been less vulnerable to being exploited later?" Most of the time, the answer is pretty clear.

Honestly, airdrops are about luck and patience, not showmanship. I dare to set extreme stop-losses on orders, but I prefer to be a bit slower with interactions—survive first, then talk.
