Retrospective airdrop experiences

[merekamo]

Mine:

— Testnets are waste of time
— Zealy/Taskon/Galx and such platforms are waste of time
— Using platforms for sake of being interested can be rewarding while using them for sake of airdrop leads to burning
 out and disappointment
— Retrospective airdrop trend is too saturated, good amount of money is no longer found here
— Already announced airdrops are waste of time
— Projects/'X' influencers are milking the hype
— Minting NFTs to qualify is waste.

If it's testnets, obviously I don't want to try it and I've also seen that the payout is very small and it depends on the points and quests we complete and it would be a waste of time. Now the airdrop, the problem is that many people participate, it is drawn randomly and the chances are very small. It also depends on the project, so do your research first. NFTs difficult because not as profitable as they used to be, because yes, since the AI boom, everything is easy if you generate 3D or some kind of fantasy virtual asset image. However, the NFT space still has a lot of potential, but for now it is more important for me to be careful and not over-invest.

Any campaign that has points/quests, it's waste of time and this includes all this platforms like zealy/questn/galx. The harder the task the more the reward, like running node — not many people do such tasks, also the less saturated the project more the reward.

Most nfts are useless, only aptos rewarded for holding nft, I don't think it's to do with AI tho.

...Even SEI developers which have been trusted by so many venture capital already deceived the whole of its testnet hunters.

Of course, many were disappointed by the SEI team's decision that airdrop was not automatically distributed to all wallets, but for the sake of fairness, it should be noted that they never promised that they were going to distribute airdrop among the participants of the same network. Therefore, we cannot claim that we were deceived by the SEI team.

Recently  found the PYTH network Airdrop and that was on the Solana Chain which gives users a huge amount of free Airdrop which were qualify for it and the prices now has been 0.41$ per Token. Although I was not selected in that Airdrop but I have seen users have won $23k from just this Airdrop which works consistently. I have noticed one thing in all these Airdrops when the market is good then the Airdrop would be better and can give a huge amount of money to the users but when the market is not good that all then it would not give that much of the amount we expect from them.
And now we are all in wait for the Layer zero through which we can get a huge benefits and we will see that I think in the Next year start. So, we are waiting for it now. May be it would make us rich.

Yea, this is why I suggest to take your part from airdrops you get, money is not yours until you actually sell. Many of current projects won't survive in harsh bear market conditions.

This airdrop for me is the real retrospective airdrop experience! Just like Arbitrum. No need for a lot of things to do, as long as you are using the product at all in general.
Just like what happened in Arbitrum before, like there are already lot platforms especially DeFi platforms in Arbitrum before the airdrop and you just casually using the chain without knowing or expecting any airdrop.

Retrospective airdrops are still like that, I mean that's what 'retrospective' word implies. It's just that people have started speculating whether particular projects will give airdrop or not, what will be the conditions, etc and then they do things/tasks in hope for getting lucky which sometimes works, sometimes not. You are free to not speculate and enjoy whatever comes on it's own.

All these defi air drops are getting harder and harder to get and even if you qualify the amount you get won’t be that much.

Best was 2 years ago when all you had to do was use the service once and you would qualify. But all these account farmers made it more difficult and why we have these Sybil detection in place to combat that. Hence why it’s more work and you get less rewards if there is an actual airdrop.

Project owners are becoming too hard to release rewards especially those which they will asked to perform some specific task and, I can also witness a kind of manipulation in airdrop campaign because I can remember then when one has to do a minor task to be able to receive rewards some of these are to just joined their telegram group and make good comments to receive rewards. Even the testnet nowadays does not rewards it's participate that much rather giving participants cooked stories.

I wish that it was like how it used to be but unfortunately it is not, most of the people are not doing something even remotely similar and we need to realize that. I get that it may not be all that amazing and all that, but at least I hope that it was fair, like they tell you what they are going to do.

A bad one will not get any attention at all if it is being realistic so they tell lies, but I honestly hoped that it would be like that, obviously everyone would jump into the good ones, but if bad ones were real, at least people would check them out too and they could still find plenty of people who will want even tiny amounts. Instead, we have bunch of airdrops where people all claim the biggest and greatest. Like check the bounty page on this forum, it says stuff like 250K DOLLARS WORTH AIRDROP, and you check and they consider their shitcoin 1 dollar whereas it won't be even 1 cent, so what they claim to be paying is 250k and yet they do not pay even few dollars.

In my experience, any project that beforehand tells you without their token being on market, that they are going to give such amount of $ value to users, is going to fail, it's never going to worth as what they promise.

And it's not a new thing, bounty projects back in 2016/17 used to do same to get attention of bounty hunters, now the same net is spread for airdrop hunters.

If you accidentally used the Arbitrum blockchain, then I am sure that your airdrop was small compared to those who made efforts to increase the volume and number of transactions. And it is natural that their efforts were generously rewarded, although those who accidentally used the blockchain were also satisfied, as they received free coins that they did not even count on.
