This airdrop season really has worn down my greedy mindset... The task platforms have set up points, scores, anti-witchcraft measures one after another, clearly saying it's "cold start incentives," but as I keep doing it, it feels more like clocking in at work: checking progress bars every day, calculating weights, fearing missed tasks.
The most annoying part is that on-chain operations still require refreshing/retrying/queuing, making me feel like I'm in a rush to get a spot.
Honestly, I understand anti-witchcraft measures, projects also fear being exploited for airdrops, but now many rules are starting to resemble KPIs more and more, and the community atmosphere has become somewhat utilitarian.
I'm now more inclined to pick a few protocols to follow long-term, doing what feels smooth, and not turning myself into a "points worker."
Anyway, I don't want to turn Web3 into another attendance system.
