Lately, social mining/points have become competitive again, and everyone is showing off badges like graduation photos. I'm also tempted, after all, "identity" stuff looks really valuable... I thought just grinding a few more days to boost my points would be stable, but I found myself spending all day checking in, reposting, completing tasks, and I don't even have the energy to chat in the community.

To put it simply, badges are just a cherry on top, not a reason to drain all your time. Wasn't the collapse of the chain game scene pretty much the same: inflation kicks in, studios jump in, and the coin prices spiral into a work-for-hire situation. Now switching to points, don’t turn yourself into a "human script"... I’ll set an alarm for myself—if I go over half an hour, I’ll stop. If I can earn, I’ll earn; don’t give your life away.
