Recently, a bunch of people have been rushing to interact with airdrops, making it feel like missing out on life if you don't click a few times. Honestly, I now have only two principles: first, ask "Am I doing data KPI for the other party?" and then ask "If this project is really issuing tokens, why should I get them instead of VC/whales?" If you can't answer, don't force interactions to avoid being counter-attacked.
That social mining thing is also pretty confusing; attention as mining sounds fancy, but in reality, it's just treating you as free content creator + new user acquisition channel, eventually giving out some fan tokens to slap on your face, and you'll still have to thank it for "empowering." My personal approach is very simple: just use the protocols I already know a few times, at most small-scale trial and error, don't stack operations just for the "possible airdrop." If you're really FOMO, set a budget, accept losses, and don't treat time as free money.
