These days, my only word for airdrop interactions is: stop.
Stop doing tasks, watch the data for a couple of days, then take action.
I'm really not afraid of missing out, but of being counter-rolled: spending a bunch on gas, projects casually changing rules, and in the end, just giving you a string of "Thanks for participating."
My current approach is pretty dumb: only interact with things I’m willing to use long-term, with small amounts so that even if it’s wiped out, I don’t mind;
Don’t make on-chain traces too deliberate, don’t do it to "look like a real person" and end up more like a script.
Additionally, I can understand recent retail complaints about MEV and unfair ordering, honestly, you think you’re interacting, but actually you’re feeding orders to others…
So before I click confirm each time, I force myself to stop: besides the "possible airdrop," what other value does this transaction have?
If there’s none, just skip it; stopping is better than doing extra work.
