Why are there so many Airdrops happening after eBTC?

[saif.shaikha]

Recently I have seen a lot of Airdrops that were done for different altcoins. When I see the value of these tokens on etherdelta most of them are either not tradable or their value is in pennies.

My question is why would developer spend on Gas to distribute coins via airdrop for free when the coin itself do not have any significant value. What would be the driving factor these Airdrops?

The aim of airdropping useless "e"token is to make easy money by listing trash tokens on exchange,
but almost all of them is non-traded tokens or in pennies on etherdelta.
eBTC is only the token have been able to pump.

I think that every coin has its own value, this value can not be measured in money, maybe one day worth it, just like the newly born btc

Most of these coins or tokens need some time to develop. Some would be thrash if the roadmap was not properly planned. Also if there are investors that supported it then time will tell for the future of the said token or coin. But the main reason for developers on spending gas is due to big gains that they accumulate.

Lot's if not most of these token's will not get any development at all.
They are simple contracts with a few lines of code.

The answer is really good, I have the same thought because I think every coin also has advantages and disadvantages of each.
