Recently, I've been trying out various social mining, points, and identity badges, with a bunch of people in the group creating alt accounts to do tasks, basically exchanging time for uncertain airdrop probabilities. I also try small amounts myself, but I care more about on-chain data: whether active addresses are generated by scripts, how long funds bridged in stay, whether transfer paths look like the same group of people rotating. If it's just to earn a badge and drain the daily rhythm, and the project changes rules later, the first to break down mentally will still be myself.

By the way, the NFT royalty wave has been causing a lot of noise, creators want income, the market wants liquidity, but everyone is talking about "principles," and in practice, it's just platform toggle buttons on and off. I feel like the points system is similar—identity is loudly proclaimed, but actual fulfillment depends on the backend. Anyway, my current approach is: participate if I can verify value within a week; if I can't verify, I just ignore it for now. That's it for now.
