My current attitude towards airdrops is roughly: engage if you want, but default to "it's okay if I don't get it," and don't turn yourself into a project’s employee. Anyway, to truly avoid being exploited, the key is not to be too much like a studio: don’t spam with scripted processes, don’t pile up unnecessary transactions just to "gain points," it’s better to do fewer actions and make on-chain behavior look more like real usage (for example, only switch or deposit when there's a real need).
Additionally, I set a personal limit: how much time or gas I spend each week, and if I exceed it, I stop, to prevent getting too obsessed. The collapse of chain games with inflation, studios, and token price spirals actually reminds me of one thing: once incentives become the main focus, the ecosystem can easily go off track… So I prefer to treat airdrops as a side product, not the main focus. Getting it is a surprise; not getting it doesn’t feel wrong—just like that for now.
