There was a time when ERC20 airdrops had these amazing websites, ANN threads and elaborate white papers. Of course they didn't intend to do any of those things - but it was still strangely fun to see the work they put into making these projects seem legitimate. They knew how to create hype and get people interested.
And yet this month there's been an abundance of ERC20 airdrop projects that have:
1.) A boring ANN thread - just a wall of text, no pictures, nothing interesting
2.) No website
3.) No white papers
4.) Thread started by a 1-post wonder.
To the fake devs of these projects, if you're reading this: Please put more work into creating your fake projects so that it's at least interesting to read.
Thanks.
It is probably because they don't need to do as much now to hook people. Airdrop fever has taken over from ICO fever. All that people need to do now is say 'airdrop! sign up here!' and they will have thousands of applicants... some of them are even openly scams and ask for private keys!
