Lately I've been looking into airdrop interactions again. To be honest, I'm most afraid of both ends getting stepped on: on one side, fearing being anti-snipe, and on the other, can't help FOMOing and clicking around everywhere. My approach is pretty simple: first ask myself if I would continue using this protocol even without an airdrop (even if it's just for one genuine need). If not, don't force the interaction; if I do want to use it, then make the actions "like a normal user," not just dozens of transactions a day for self-entertainment, as the fees and mindset can't handle that.
And also, don't be too superstitious about on-chain data tools and their tagging systems... Recently, some people have been complaining that the tagging system is lagging or even misleading. Staring at "certain address profiles" and following the trend is actually like watching sentiment boards—it's easy to lead yourself astray. Anyway, I'm now more concerned about what the rules and proposal texts actually intend to filter out. The rest is just uncertainty—manage your budget, spread out your time, and if you hit the target, it's a bonus; if not, it won't blow up your mindset. How about you?
