I’m pretty chill about the whole social mining thing: if you can claim badges and points, just claim them—don’t empty your time for it. Put simply, once your identity gets tied to “daily check-ins + reposts + doing tasks,” it’s easy to go from playing on-chain to clocking in for the platform, still as the unpaid kind…

Recently, the airdrop season is back again. Task platforms’ anti-bot/anti-sybil measures are getting harsher and harsher, making the “farm rewards” crowd hustle like it’s workplace attendance. I’ve noticed that when on-chain fees go up, the ones who feel it first are actually those who “pay extra gas just for a 3-minute burst of hype.” Anyway, I’d rather have fewer badges and save some keyboard lifespan—just keep an eye on MEV news. Don’t mine yourself into a miner.
