Lately, I've been bombarded with various social mining and points systems. Opening Twitter, it's all "tasks," "badges," "levels." There's so much information that I really start to feel overwhelmed... Frankly, many of these things are not about earning profits but about a sense of identity. On-chain, I see it more straightforwardly: when active addresses and interaction counts increase, the next day the same group of people move on to the next pool. Retention is often quite thin, so don't waste your time chasing a small badge.



My own filtering method is pretty crude: first ask, "Can this identity be converted into actual rights or cash flow in the future?" (like governance, revenue sharing, priority access). If not, I treat it as entertainment; then I look at the distribution—whether the points are being hoarded by a few addresses. If it's too concentrated, I won't bother competing.

By the way, I just thought of the recent NFT royalty debate, which is similar: everyone wants "creators to get what they deserve," but when secondary liquidity tightens, no matter how good the slogans are, they tend to fall apart. Anyway, I now prefer to go slower, do smaller but more certain interactions, and not turn myself into a check-in machine.
