They're making it look like an illusion because we never did it with the right sense of humor; look what it's turning into.... Some nft's cloned out into a haphazard token are just supposed to be in the trash-can seriously ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Airdrops apparently we're just meant to be shared among the few who could properly promote it but even the few WENT WITH 9 BASKETS EACH OF THEM ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) it has now turned out the worst for anyone afterwards

It doesn't make sense actually if that he needs to pay more for the fees moving to the exchange more than the token he has. I really don't think how these airdrops are worth participating with. They are almost 100% worthless and scam things. Yeah, you may receive a 1mil token, that was really huge but the price is $0, not even listed to any exchanges, that seems useless. But in the first place, we could think also who would like to give that? Who would like to give money freely? That is why we never have to expect airdrop to gain value but just only $0.
Exactly. Airdrops are always some form of hype. Give away free tokens but you've to give your email address or complete tasks, and some of them require KYC documents as well. Having joined so many a few years back, I think the most "profitable" one was merely worth like ten dollars after sale.

But I will skip the KYC process because sending the document to other sides needs more attention because we do not want to see they will use the document for the wrong thing. Besides that, it is not worth giving our data to others because of some dollars. Many airdrops can provide us with profit in the long term but the difficulty is we do not know which airdrops can do that in the future so we need to search for the airdrops.

Generally, I am not against the idea of people making money by spreading awareness about the project in which they've invested their time and effort. At the end of the day, free markets, such as cryptocurrency one and similar, are all about being productive and being driven by economic incentives while pursuing your own selfish goals. Doing airdrops is just one of the means to achieve wealth and happiness. That is how I look at it. However, oftentimes people behind airdrops don't share the ideas I briefly mentioned above. Instead of being productive, instead of investing their time and effort in a project, they deceive other people to get a quick buck. For example, they use airdrops as an excuse to collect a lot of personal information of crypto users, which they later sell to scammers or use directly to scam. I have seen many times the airdrop forms asking for the user's private keys or a seed phrase. Many have fallen to this scam airdrops, lost their money along with their interest in cryptocurrency.

Even if we don't provide our KYC, our email addresses are a gold mine to them too. Pretty much we'd see spam and advertisement before/ after claiming the airdrops. Consumers are always the product of free advertising.

What are they?
Free giveaways like in coins or tokens. Which can even actually be fake coin or token that will remain dead from the beginning and not becoming tradable. Are they good? Are they bad?
Some people are smart and have actually collected fee airdroos. But the danger is more. First, you can be asked to pay VIP fee, it that airdrop again (free giveaway)? No. You will pay for it and no coin given, which means you have been scammed. Another is that you will be requested to provide your email or other personal information (kyc). Do you know just only email can be used to scam you? Scam through text message or call is also possible. They know you are novice, they will not give you any coin. You would have forgotten and not link it to an email that you will be sent some days, weeks or months after which are actually from scammers, called phishing email. The email is gotten by scammers from the airdrop form you filled without you not given any coin or token (even very risky if you were given as it can still be useless and is worth nothing). The email would contain a malware link or a phishing link to input your seed phrase. If you click on the phishing link, you have been scammed. Are they worth it?
In my opinion, they are not worth it. Especially by not knowing the risks involved, many people have become the victim of scammers through airdrops. Some airdrops remain not tradable. Some remain shitcoin, not worth anything good. Learn how to avoid scam. Do not pay 2 to get 4, it is a scam. Nearly all airdrops are scam and someone can directly or indirectly end up being an airdrop scam victim. joining airdrops and collecting them by paying some fees or connecting your wallet needs research about the project beforehand, getting scammed can be avoided if the team is anonymous or fake and partnerships too, I was lucky to get some airdrops that were worth it like seedify which is pretty big right now, so I would say if it doesn't bother you tweeting and retweeting ...etc you can try your luck maybe you can get actual good ones.

Even if we don't provide our KYC, our email addresses are a gold mine to them too. Pretty much we'd see spam and advertisement before/ after claiming the airdrops. Consumers are always the product of free advertising. And it could be more than your email address depending on procedure of the airdrop itself. For example, if you need to enter your email address on their website, they could obtain additional information such as 1. Your IP address, which also reveal your nationality. 2. Your browser. 3. Your OS. 3. Third-party tracking (such as Facebook and Google Analytic) will know you're interested on cryptocurrency. I do not have a problem with that because I do not use my main email for participating in the airdrops because they can scam me anytime. I use secondary email just to participate in the airdrops and even they know the nationality or can track from where I access their site like @ETFbitcoin said, I can hide it using TOR or use VPN. I am sure the email providers can handle the spam and advertisement and all we can do is just delete, unsubscribe or even block it from our email.

I guess that's why many crypto-related posts are now appearing from my dummy account in Facebook long time ago before I stopped trying them, lol. Not that it is really an issue for me due to it being a dummy account, but quite concerning considering that you mentioned in #1, from just sending only an email address.

People need to be very careful of airdrops, it was a reputable telegram group that i was introduced to many months ago about airdrops. But VIP fee is demanded for in ethereum before I knew it was definitely not a reputable group. If paid, I will be scammed. The groups can be reputable for novices and newbies until they are scammed. With what I have experienced about airdrops, they are not worth it at all.

Back then in late 2017 where I started participating on airdrops, it was the good ol’ days yes! I had one beautiful friend who is just working as a regular employee earning low-wage income and in just one airdrop she earned six figures in Philippine peso. I’ve never experienced that for airdrops, only for bounty programs.
Fast forward to today, I think we can only see a few quality airdrops like UNI and CAKE. For example in the FOX airdrop, we receive a good amount of FOX tokens if we have used Shapeshift before. ENS is also the same where a lot of users who have bought and minted the domain before are receiving huge rewards.
Then here comes snapshot airdrops like Aqua Network, where we are qualified to receive their airdrop if we have a history of trading in Stellar Dex before January 1, 2020 and now they’re having the biggest one for those who have bought and hold at least 500 XLM and 1 Aqua in their non-custodial wallets. And the list goes on! I think these kinds of premium airdrops are the best in my opinion.

I just didn't plan to install it and went for AdBlock Plus instead for only blocking ads since it is like being mentioned more often. As of writing this, reading from some people's comment between the two, they seem to recommend uBlock over the other. Thanks for this.

Keep in mind that the extension is called "uBlock Origin" not "uBlock", the later is from a developer who split from the original team and created their own extension. People always suggest the former to be the "better" option to use.

Try reading the README.md file that shows up when you click on the link. There is an installation section that has direct links to where the extension can be downloaded from like the Firefox add-on website if you are using Firefox browser!

We should join airdrops frequently. It takes not much time & energy.This is the form of prize ,prizebond & Gift. There is no harm to try your luck. It is possible that your luck may work and you will be given airdrop. This year, In my family an airdrop was received. It was a good amount. This is the favour and kindness of the new bounty and coin who blessed this amount. So I say through the bitcoin talk forum that there is no harm to joining airdrop.

I remember in past few years ago. Most of the airdrop are very worthy. Iam since from 2017 on that time there are many biggest and genuine airdrops. And easily earn 100$ to 200$ . Now many scammers project are spreading and hacked the wallet. So many fee airdrop are last come past year and they gave many free tokens that's is worth was ,2000$ . I think you did check the recently airdrop list like uniswap, 1inch , dydx , para swap . These have own native tokens and gave tokens in the community members just doing the simple tasks like swapped or provide liquidity.
