I just looked at the net flow and active addresses of a certain social mining project, it's quite lively, but that kind of "liveliness" is a bit like crowded subway: lots of people don't necessarily mean they're headed to the right destination. A couple of days ago, I almost spent my entire evening trying to earn a badge—setting alarms, completing tasks, boosting interactions—getting more and more anxious as I kept going. It wasn't until I stopped that I realized I was using my attention as fuel for points, thinking I was "building my identity." Honestly, identity isn't something you can just accumulate through check-ins; the cost distribution makes it clear: once the rules change, the first to be wiped out are those with the highest time costs. I've also seen the inflation + studio + token price spiral in blockchain games, and in the end, it's always "those who are busy lose even more." I'm going to slow down now, wait for the data to align, and let the badges come naturally.
