The boring airdrop projects

[hell3r]

Because back then airdrops are rare and the devs, community and projects are serious that it became a trend to the crypto world. And now here are the scammers, fake devs, money-like faces that transcend through these forum threads. Its sad now that it is really difficult to spot and find a legitimate ICO even airdrops/bounties. So the only thing we can do with this epidemia is to research harder and be picky with these emerging coins. Cryptoworld long time ago is very nostalgic but Goodluck to all of us! It is what it is.

There will be less airdrop in immediate future because ETH blockchain starting to be full, so gas price will increase and it will be more expensive to run free airdrop if there is no real value behind it.

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!
