Recently the points-earning grind has gotten a bit out of hand—my friends’ Moments are nothing but task screenshots, and it feels like I’m at work.

Actually, I’ve tried a few myself too, but after weighing everything up, when you convert the little amount of points those platforms give into time cost, it really isn’t as good as just checking on-chain data honestly, or keeping an eye on the price spread in AMMs.
It’s airdrop season—everyone’s in a rush. Anti-sybil measures are getting stricter too, and after grinding for half a day you might end up with nothing.
Anyway, I’m more “Buddhist” about it—take it slow. First look at liquidity depth and allocation ratios, then decide whether to take action.
As for these badges, it’s basically emotional value—don’t take it too seriously.
