Lately, I've been bombarded with all kinds of "social mining/points/badges" posts, and my avatar is almost switching from shiny to dull gray... Basically, it's about spending time to get an identity tag, but whether that tag is worth it or not depends on my mood about the project. I used to seriously follow a bunch of accounts, check in and share every day, but then I realized I was like at work—points went up, but I felt more annoyed. So I quietly unfollowed half of them, and instantly felt lighter.

And now, on-chain data tools and tagging systems are pretty mysterious; not only are they lagging, but they might also guide you to see "you think you're a certain type of user." Anyway, I’m just taking a more relaxed approach now: I stay longer only if there's a good atmosphere and some secondary depth; if it's boring, I just leave. No matter how pretty the badges are, don’t drain people.
