Lately, I've been getting a bit tired of grinding for testnet points... Originally, it was just to practice my skills, but then I saw that the task platform's anti-fraud measures are getting stricter and stricter, and the point system is making people feel like they're clocking in at work. My mindset started to shift to "I've done so much, I should at least have some expectations." And then it's easy to get deeper and deeper: open another account? Add some Gas? Wait another week?
My current stop-loss is pretty simple: set a "practice budget" and "practice duration" for myself, and stop once I hit the limit, regardless of how the airdrop season is hyped in the group. Honestly, testnets aren't paychecks, so don't treat your time as sunk costs. And one more thing: I no longer believe that "completing the process guarantees a reward." Execution details are the real sieve; anyway, I’ll just withdraw first. Saving some energy to review proposals and vote disputes is better than just clocking in.
