One of my sources of possible airdrops is from various users on Twitter. Guys who live to hunt these airdrops.

Yep, just those three. While there are plenty of users on Twitter that shout airdrop info every now and then, some are just copycats. So it's best to just focus on a few to lessen the noise.
Just follow their tutorials on how to interact with the platforms that supposedly would do an airdrop in the future.
The latest airdrop I received was $ARKM (Arkham) and $ARB (Arbitrum) before that.
A few tips:
#1 Create and use a specific airdrop wallet. Don't use your main wallet. Reason? Hacks are quite possible.
#2 Use only the trusted wallets. Reason? Same as #1.
#3 Connect your wallet only to official websites, networks, and platforms. Same reason as #1.
#4 Don't create multiple wallets for airdrop hunting. While this is tempting, it is not advisable to do so as this might exclude you from any future airdrops since most projects and startups nowadays are wary of any Sybil attacks.
Some even go to the extent of monitoring known airdrop hunter's wallets and just plainly exclude them. This happened with Paraswap's airdrop (google it if you want to).
#5 Don't go rushing in claiming your airdrop. If an airdrop is announced, be very wary of the links and sites you visit to claim your airdrops as during this time, scammers creating similar Twitter handles to the project or startup that is announcing an airdrop and fake websites usually pops-out trying to gain access to your wallet (see #1). Also, usually, the gas/transaction fee is insanely high in the first few hours of the announcement; let it cool down a bit. No point in claiming a $50 airdrop if you have to pay a $70 gas fee.
#6 Don't expect too much. By now there are thousands of airdrop hunters out there. Chances are, even if you did get an airdrop, it's not worth that much. It is best to lower your expectations.
#7 Hodl? This is optional. Sometimes, it's best to immediately sell your hard-earned airdrop rewards while sometimes, holding it for a few days/weeks also yields great gains.
A good example would be the $ENS (Ethereum Name Service) airdrop. I got mine and sold it at $39 then two days after it climbed to $81. LOL
#8 Don't take it seriously. Doing those tutorials and following the specific tasks to be eligible for an airdrop may sometimes be tedious so it's best to just do it in your free time. Don't stick your face in your monitor trying to do all the tutorials and tasks in one hour then hopping to another task once that is done, this will only burn you out and will even make you prone to mistakes like clicking a fake/scammer link.
Those are just a few of the tips I remember. Maybe I missed a few? IDK.
Remember, getting an airdrop is not entirely 100% so just have fun with airdrop hunting. Who knows? Maybe you get lucky and receive your first airdrop
