Lately, watching the testnet points situation, the atmosphere feels a bit like: originally it was just practice, but everyone forcefully turned it into "I should get it." Frankly, once the expectations start to grow, people become unreasonable, staying up late to complete tasks just to find a reason to keep going.
My own stop-loss is pretty simple: time-based stop-loss + emotional stop-loss. If I open the page two days in a row and first feel annoyed, first consider whether it's "worth it," then I stop; adding one more rule, if I keep flipping through my wallet for tasks, I consider myself providing liquidity for others... just take a break. Don’t turn practice into an obsession.
By the way, recently someone also complained about the unfairness of validator/MEV sorting, and I don’t find that new. Points follow the same logic: whoever is closer to having "sorting power" is more like getting a share of the meat. Retail investors can probably only avoid turning themselves into fuel; anyway, I’ll just watch as a witness, not as a battery.
