Last night, I came across another bunch of "task lists," clicking follow, sharing, joining groups, and then changing my avatar and hanging a badge... I stared at the screen for a long time and suddenly felt pretty tired. To put it plainly, this social mining setup is essentially trading time for a "potentially useful" reputation score, but the time is genuinely gone.
I'm not against points; after all, projects need a cold start; I just hope people don't turn themselves into clock-in workers just for a badge. Recently, Meme and celebrity shoutouts have become popular again, and attention shifts so quickly that newcomers are most easily pushed by emotions to "do a little more." I increasingly understand the old player's saying, "Don't take the last baton."
I myself am quite restrained: only interact with protocols I truly want to use, and ignore the rest as if I didn't see it. Missing out is okay; in the long run, liquidity is still the more important line. That's all for now.
