Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit dazed while doing tasks on the platform:


In the past, earning small rewards was just “trying it out casually,” now the whole process feels like clocking in at work—checking in, interacting, inviting people, increasing on-chain activity, and even getting rated.
Honestly, the platform is just adding more “verifiable efforts” into the rules because they’re afraid of witches.
But the more efforts are verifiable, the easier it becomes to standardize them through studios, and in the end, ordinary people end up more exhausted.
Thinking about it later, it’s quite funny.
I broke down this game theory myself:
The platform wants to resist witches → raise the threshold → increase real user costs → only scalable players remain → then further turn the ecosystem into more of a assembly line.
The kind of collapse point seen in blockchain games with inflation + studios + coin price spirals is actually pretty similar, just with a different disguise.
Now I prefer to do fewer “quantifiable tasks,” and instead pick a few products I genuinely want to try out slowly.
If the score is low, so be it—I don’t want to turn my interests into KPIs.
