In the past, gathering fluff was for saving money; now, gathering fluff is to prove that you are an elite member of the ecosystem.

It's like you are not just scoring points; you are writing a resume; you are not completing tasks; you are participating in an on-chain college entrance examination.

You ask, what can these points be exchanged for? The platform won't tell you, but if you don't participate, you will miss out on tomorrow's opportunities.

Even if you've never seen what it looks like, you have to revolve around it every day, which is even more exhausting than a secret crush.

Every day, you are partaking in a romantic game of "maybe I can be chosen," with the only difference being that the points don't read your messages and can even compel you to invest more.

Sometimes I think the relationship between Web3 users and platforms is like an extremely anxious marriage: the platform never makes promises, yet you fear you are not proactive enough; the more you invest, the more mysterious it becomes; the calmer you are, the more it throws out ambiguous messages like "the snapshot is about to end" to throw you into chaos.

In summary: we are not just gathering fluff; we are on a pilgrimage. It's just that the temple is an Excel spreadsheet, the oracle is the official announcement, the belief is "if I don’t gather, I definitely won’t have anything,” and we are all candidates, desperately trying to establish our presence.

It sounds like a scam, but everyone is caught up in it; this is the Alpha of Web3: it deceives you into willingly participating.

So, do you really have a place for me in your heart!
