Lately, social mining, points, and badges have become popular again. I looked through my previous backtesting records, and honestly, most of it was just burning time as capital, ultimately resulting in a string of "identity" screenshots. When it comes to actually cashing out, the rules keep changing. It's not that you can't earn, but the key is not to be led by daily tasks. When your mindset gets carried away, it's easy to lose focus on the main research.
Recently, I also layered on an AI Agent automated interaction narrative. It looks quite convenient, but what I care more about is: who is actually telling stories, and who is scrutinizing permissions and signature details. Anyway, my current approach is very simple—prefer to do less, explain the risks clearly, and get some confirmation. Badges are not worth much; my own time is the most valuable. I'm going to work now.
