AIRDROPS ARE NO LONGER VIABLE

[JeffBrad12]

Airdrop itself isn't the problem here, the problem here is new good projects don't use airdrop campaigns anymore, just imagine how profitable airdrops would have been today is project like Avalanche, Polkadot, Chainlink, and other new big projects are giving away free tokens to all Airdrop hunters, no one will dare complain right now

It's not true at all. The new projects are still using the airdrop but these projects are using the different scheme of airdrop through use the staking pool and everyone will be able to get the free token from staking their coins.
There are still lots of projects doing the common airdrop but the problem is it's very difficult to get the legit airdrop.
Avalanche was doing an airdrop through social mining.

It is actually very simple. Back in 2017, we had relatively few users vying for a large number of airdrops (many of which were successful upon their listing). There were some really good airdrops, such as eBTC. The number of users have grown manifold since then, but the number of successful projects have witnessed a sharp drop. So it is only natural for airdrop participants to contend with little or no rewards.

[prosperoustop]

All airdrops is absolutely random, I participated in more than 30 last time, but get nothing) only heard about uniswap, was the Uniswap the one and only from this year or someone get something more?

indeed airdrops cannot always provide the best, if you participate in 30 airdrops within a period of 1 month or several months,
of course not all of them produce, we already know in the 70% airdrop scam,
if you cannot choose correctly then you will lose, and maybe your work is in vain.

So how to choose good airdrops, do you use such channels as AirdropDetective or airdropinspector, I made airdrops from there

[TitanGEL]

Participating in airdrops are not good anymore for me because they are not profitable unlike before where you can earn a grand in just 1 airdrop. There are still some airdrops that legit and giving huge reward but to find that kind of project is really rare because it is just the 0.1% of total airdrops in the market. Finding it required a lot of research and also choosing skill, that kind of airdrop is the big deal wherein your participation is really worth it unlike the majority of the airdrops are jokes wherein you can consider it as a waste of energy and effort if you allocate your time caring and participating in those shitty airdrops.

[nomenclatur]

every day scammers are always looking for victims and what attracts the most attention of investors is airdrops because of that many fraudsters take advantage of an airdrop to get a lot of money, which most often people are attracted to because of fraudulent listings on exchanges so they are willing to transfer ethereum to make gas even though it is just a hoax They are for a lot collection of money. Skilled con artists are always thinking of ways to trick people into getting more victims and it's like their job.

I have seen a large number of "Scam-drops" recently. How can it be an airdrop if they ask you to send some ETH or other coin to a given address? Also the newest way of stealing your assets is blocking your earnings from the airdrop unless you participate in their scam-ICOs.

There's really a lot of scam Airdrops I've been hearing from the past few years before they are considered as one of the top things that users look at since it's a free coin but after some time a lot of scams attached to it such as asking KYC, asking to transfer small amount of ETH, etc.

In the past, an airdrop participant was even able to make tens of dollars and could even reach hundreds of dollars in participating an airdrop project, I remember that airdrop was the most awaited thing the participants had been waiting for because indeed airdrops in 2017 paid many participants and even many of the projects those who have a market and the price is quite high, of course this is different from what is happening now where we can't even get only $10 when joining an airdrop.

there are alot fake developer team steal our money or data by launching fake airdrop. its not worth anymore to join in any airdrop program since most of them was fake and wasting our time and effort. carefully and analize well to identify is it real project or just take advantages from market trend.

[Rexler]

This is absolutely true, airdrops nowadays have nothing good to offer anymore, gone are those days when there were airdrops that could give someone $10, these days all the airdrops you come across are just scam airdrops with no real project, as you said after scamming they will go on to open another social media account to begin another scam airdrop, and listing on uniswap is what they usually promise, just to make more people to fomo and help them advertise their scam airdrop, I don't think airdrops are worth participating in anymore.

[tbterryboy]

Airdrops are still viable if you ask me. The problem is, when some method gets famous, the early ones are the good ones and everyone makes money from it, when ICO's first came out everyone made money from it, however over time everyone did ICO's and of course only a few made profit while hundreds of them didn't. Same went with everything after that and right now goes with DEFI as well.

The early defi projects made people a ton of money, but the reality is that many people got into defi a bit too late, nowadays we have copy of the copy of the copy type of defi, like anyone who wants to steal money starts a new project with "uni" in the name or "yfi" in the name to get money from us, so obviously it is like 1/200 that pays well. However it is free, so you can still join all 200 of them and make few dollars without spending a dime.

[konflikkastil]

If I'm to give my take on whether airdrop is still viable or not. I will say they are still to some extent, but just that we only have few of those airdrop now. Some projects will just come with fake social media accounts and fake ico and waste airdropper precious time. When I started cryptocurrencies few years ago, I started with airdrop and it pays a lot then. Imagine when a project pays as high as $100 that's fair right? I only which those time will come back again. Bounty have chance airdrop away. The owners of projects want hunters to work for the reward they will be giving out to them. That has made it more hard to get free token like it used to be with airdrop.

Would really be always like a hit or miss scenario but the chances of getting something on an airdrop is less rather than on owning a shitcoin in the end.

Airdrops tasks isnt really that hard to be done though for you to receive those coins but if the time comes when it already ask out some KYC and some bullshit deposit for transaction
then thats the time you do simply skip it out.

Airdrops arent really that time wasting if it do only get a very small portion of your time and very minimal effort but the fact that majority of them now
have much more harder task and just ending up on getting some shitcoin which doesnt guarantee if it would really be getting some value or not later on.

[minatour]

Is true no more good airdrops, the days of airdrop is far gone, days of hydro, Enu, nobs, apollo, fresco etc. Now most airdrops no longer worth it, I hope better days of airdrop comes back anything soon, probably after bull run.

[BOAEDAN]

I suggest not to rely too much on airdrops, you can participate in airdrops, it's just that the results are not what you expected, so you can get the results of the airdrop as a bonus without expecting results so it won't disappoint you.

[angrybirdy]

This is a false statement, airdrops are still very valuable,
even though there are many scam airdrops that make people frustrated,
for me this is still not over for airdrops, if you are able to analyze airdrops properly I'm sure you can get valuable airdrops.

I do not angry with you. We all know that there are lots and lots of scam airdrops, even those legit-looking airdrops still end up as a scam airdrop. In short, an airdrop is just a waste of time. from 1 out of 10 airdrops that we can participate in, all of them is a possible scam.

[akirasendo17]

I think the problem here is the people who just join a bounty without even reading and making research who are these people,
I think a campaign or projects we have different people joining it let me give you who they are:

1. the first one is the investor they invest money when they believe in the project.
2. they are the bounty hunters who will join dump and leave the project
3. the believers they are the one who holds the coin even without value

at the end of the day, we must check research everything so that we will not be disappointed by the result
everything has risk,

[maartenhaha]

I have been leaving airdrops since losing the ICO because after that the airdrops are no longer valuable, don't get your hopes up on airdrops and better continue as a bounty hunter.

[Traderbtcc]

why can you say that? From my point of view now Airdrop is more valuable, did you miss the airdrop from UNI? and other Defi tokens? It is very unfortunate, now there are many airdrops from the Defi project, but indeed many are scams, you can follow all the airdrops, and wait for distribution,
all the information is on telegram, there are many channels about the latest airdrop.

He said so because that's how it is now, airdrops are no longer valuable, the uniswap airdrop was for people who have made use of uniswap, not like those airdrops on telegram where they will tell you to join their social media platforms then promise to pay you 50 bucks for it, at the end of the day they will ask the participants to send an eth fee of about 0.0001 so that they can be able to identify the people who cheated which is a lie, all those telegram airdrops tokens can never add any significant amount to your wallet its either a scam airdrop or the project is not serious meaning the tokens you receive won't be worth even a dollar.

[Shasha80]

I still believe airdrops are worth fighting for, because I still get profit from some of the airdrops that I participate in.
The key is we have to do research properly to be able to follow profitable airdrops. It is true that only 5% of the airdrops
that are currently appearing are indeed profitable. So you have to be selective in choosing airdrops, and never follow
airdrops that require KYC, because it is possible that the airdrops only want to get users personal data for personal gain.
