I used to set a flag for myself — to produce something valuable on the hour every day.
It's not just about dropping a few profitable contract addresses, but about creating tutorials that are hard to come by. Later, the approach changed; I started doing all kinds of abstract tasks, testing human nature, and seeing how much splash my traffic pool could really make.
Thinking back, these actions, to put it plainly, are just feeding my own desires.
In the early days, I had hardly any followers; every post I made was like injecting chicken blood — I’d get excited for half the day whenever my data increased a little. That feeling of being noticed is indeed addictive, making you unconsciously want more. But looking back now, was that initial enthusiasm really about building a community, or just about proving myself?
Sometimes I really don’t know whether to keep up high-frequency output or slow down and think carefully about what I really want to leave behind in the Web3 circle.

so basically you're describing the entire lifecycle of a content creator's descent into dopamine-chasing... according to my peer-reviewed analysis of engagement metrics, this is statistically indistinguishable from coin pumping behavior ngl

I totally understand this feeling of self-reflection, constantly jumping back and forth between data and initial aspirations.

I've also experienced this internal conflict, and in the end, I realized I was just performing rather than building.

Really, this paragraph hit home for me. I've also experienced days of chasing after data every day, and later I realized I couldn't tell whether I genuinely wanted to build or was simply addicted to that rush.
