To be honest, these days, all kinds of social mining/points tasks have worn me out... scrolling interactions, hanging out for hours, collecting badges, it feels like using time to exchange for a "status screenshot." What I care about is still execution and latency: if I really want to use it, I look at on-chain operation costs, failure rates, and settlement speed—don't drain yourself for a badge all day long.
The recent NFT royalty water war also seems quite similar: on one hand, saying they want to support creators, and on the other hand, fearing lack of liquidity in secondary markets, the ones often hurt are ordinary people constantly tinkering with transaction fees. I’m also not sure what the optimal solution is; anyway, my current approach is simple: automate what can be automated, avoid touching what can't, turn off notifications before bed, and just be a quieter player.
