Lately, airdrops and interactions have started to heat up again, but I actually feel a bit tense... Maybe it's because I've been watching those on-chain traces of "active addresses suddenly moving together" for too long. To put it simply, many projects' current tasks are just making you give full permissions, signing repeatedly, and in the end, if you don't get the airdrop, your wallet gets drained first.
My current somewhat naive approach: set up a small interaction account with enough gas money; when faced with unlimited authorization requirements, I prefer to do it less often, authorize once, then revoke it conveniently; and those "social mining" tasks that require linking social accounts, inviting people, or boosting followers, always feel more like selling attention... Attention as mining sounds trendy, but often it's just about filtering who is more willing to give free stuff.
FOMO still exists, after all, seeing others post screenshots can be annoying. But I set a personal rule: avoid tasks whose profit sources I don't understand and that are only sustained by hype. If I miss out, I miss out. That's how I’ll handle it for now.
