Lately, I’ve been a bit dazed from grinding on task platforms. It’s supposed to be “token farming,” but it’s starting to feel like clocking in for work: check-ins, resharing, filling out forms, and even having to worry about getting wiped out by some “witch.” The most ridiculous part is the scoring system—it’s like a performance review. If you miss two interactions today, you get “insufficient credit”… basically, it’s using rules to tame you into a reliable, steady workforce.
My mindset has changed too. I’d rather do less—pick the on-chain actions I can explain clearly. Otherwise, in the end you may not even see the tokens, and your account gets flagged as well. I also took a look at the funding rate, and it’s getting extremely volatile again. The group is in chaos, arguing whether it’s time to reverse or to keep squeezing the bubble. Honestly, it feels pretty similar to task scoring: everyone’s running on the same track, and the faster you go, the more frantic it gets.
Anyway, I’ll mix my breakfast ingredients (volatility) first. As for whether this “work-style token farming” will end up discouraging new users—what do you think…
