Spent the whole afternoon on that new social protocol—stuffing my following list with bots just to rack up points—and suddenly felt like an electronic sharecropper.

The moment the badge lit up was definitely satisfying, but after that—time was gone, the information noise exploded, and the deep charts I actually should have looked at still never got opened. Plainly put, a lot of these “identities” just make you pay rent with your attention, and the lease is ridiculously short.

With funding rates this extreme, whether the chat’s noise means a reversal or it keeps driving it down—I’ll be making a pot of tea first. Those “benefits” that require me to check in every day just to keep them? Better not have them at all.
