Recently, I've seen a bunch of social mining, points tasks, identity badges, and so on, which can easily draw people in: daily check-ins, reposts, joining groups to boost presence, eventually feeling like you're working for the platform. Honestly, no matter how shiny the badge is, it doesn't really mean you're earning anything; at most, it's just exchanging time for a bit of uncertain "possibility."
These days, the staking unlocks and token unlock calendar keep being brought up again and again, and everyone is anxious about selling pressure. I can understand that, but the more anxious you are, the more you want to find security by doing more tasks, which just makes you more exhausted. Anyway, I'm currently in a small cabin mode: if it can be done with one click, I do it; if not, I forget it. I treat complexity as an enemy—if I can do one less step, I do one less step, saving some brainpower for truly worthwhile things.
