When you’re at a low point and just trying to get by, there’s nothing wrong with chasing a few small airdrops here and there to scrape together a few U. You should do what you need to do.

Get out more. Move around.
Seek out bigger platforms, meet people operating at a higher level, and take part in more effective interactions.
