I tried earning some testnet points once, mainly as practice: to get familiar with the interactions, keep track of gas costs... but as I kept going, I started mentally calculating "how much I could exchange it for later," and I became driven by expectations. My hands also became more active, which was quite frightening. Later, I set a stop-loss for myself: a maximum of 30 minutes per day + a maximum of N sign-ins, and if I exceeded that, I would close the webpage, even if the group shouted "another round of interaction is more stable." Basically, once practice turns into gambling, you can no longer stay calm.
Recently, the social mining and fan token schemes are the same; can attention really be mined? I feel like attention is more being mined... Anyway, my current principle is: points can be a bonus, but not a salary. Otherwise, in the end, what I lose isn't money, but my mindset and time. That's it for now.
