Today outside was stuffy and humid again, the subway was stalled for two stations, and by the time I got home, my tea was cold... I casually checked the task platform, and it really feels more and more like going to work: clocking in, taking screenshots, filling out forms, doing tasks, and maintaining a score, afraid that any step like a "witch" would deduct points. Honestly, it's not that I'm lazy, but this mechanism makes people only want to cater to the rules, and they don't really want to seriously experience the projects anymore.

What's more awkward is that many tasks end up becoming "who can act as the most active user," then a bunch of similar interactions are linked together, and slippage is squeezed out... I now prefer to do fewer tasks, choose ones I understand, review and reflect after doing them, and I don't have time to chase KPIs every day.

Also, the recent NFT royalty dispute sounds pretty similar: creators want stable income, but the secondary market complains about restricting liquidity. In the end, it's still ordinary people caught in the middle—either pay more costs or be forced to change the way they play. Sigh, taking a sip of tea to relax.
