Lately, it's again the airdrop season, and task platforms are increasing their efforts to counteract the "witch hunt," making the points systems feel like clocking in at work.

I'm actually quite afraid of this "badge-driven" approach; my time gets drained, and I think I'm investing, but honestly, it's just selling my attention to the project teams...
Now I’d rather go slower, first understand how the protocols make money and where the risk boundaries are, then decide whether to participate.
My mom asked me a couple of days ago, "You keep doing tasks and collecting cards every day, what can you finally exchange for?"
I could only reply half-heartedly: "Not necessarily something you can get, most of the time it's just a ranking."
Anyway, my current principle is to do less, focus on more certain things, and save some energy for projects I truly want to use long-term.
