Recently, social mining/points have become popular again, and looking at a bunch of badge tasks makes my scalp tingle... Frankly, the most expensive thing isn't gas, but the attention you get robbed of. I used to worry about "what kind of identity do these points represent," but now I don't chase explanations as much; if it works, use it, if not, pretend it never happened.

AI agents, automated trading, these topics are also quite noisy, some people are responsible for hype narratives, others focus on security details. Anyway, my current approach is more Zen: only engage in a small amount of interactions I understand and have clear exit paths for, the rest of the points are up to chance, and I don't turn every day into a check-in routine.
