This airdrop season really made me anxious... Everywhere is points, badges, and rank levels, and it feels like if you don't do tasks, you're "falling behind." But honestly, a lot of social mining is just using your time as fuel—checking in daily, sharing posts, participating in groups—doing it so much it feels like clocking in at work. What's more annoying is that task platforms are getting stricter and stricter with anti-witch measures, tying a bunch of account information, and in the end, they might not give you anything anyway.

After being liquidated once, I got a bit scared. Now when I see prompts like "Just a few more days to level up," my first reaction is: don’t leverage your time and attention too. I’d rather take it slow with a small position—if I can earn, I earn; if not, so be it. At least I won’t empty my life just for a badge. That’s all for now.
