why most of airdrops don't pay participants with tokens in these days??

[justdimin]

Just don't participate random airdrops you don't know about. Some of them don't care about bounty hunters and looks like a lot of them have moved to model where they "randomly" pick 10-100 or such winners and divide airdrop with them. I have a hard time understanding why people would waste their time joining such obviously rigged raffles but maybe i people aren't reading the terms of the airdrop either when they are just participating as many airdrops as they can.

In addition, several airdrops deliberately target people who are easy to deceive by giving away useless tokens.
Sometimes, some airdrops also provide conditions that must be met before the project sends the token.
There is also an airdrops program that requires people who join to do KYC to get tokens which they claim could be very valuable in the future and it really isn't worth doing.
So it's better to avoid such airdrop programs and look for other projects that may be more promising in the future.

How do they trick people into making them work for basically nothing. The token worths absolutely zero, and they say things like "we will give 25k tokens worth 25k dollars" and people all are like "wow so much money! I want to join!" and they work for them to get 200-300 dollars worth of tokens, and when they do, it worths zero.

How is it not obvious from the start that the tokens would worth zero, I mean they literally trust your work to make it worth something to begin with. By that logic I would make my own token and make others work for me instead and get something? Isn't that simpler and easier to make money? Why am I working for you?

Before joining airdrops you should check the project full detail. Most of project are scam and airdrop are just to increase number of social followers. Telegram bot Airdrops are 99% fake and scam so don't waste your time on these. I wasted one year on these telegram bot Airdrops and did recieved one cent. Gleam airdrops are 70% real but they are randomly choose winners and number of participants are large.
I will recommend you to try official exchanges Airdrop like Binance, Kucoin,bybit,Bitget and other. Follow their announcement page and try be FCFS to get guaranteed Airdrop which you can instantly sell and convert it to fiat

Sometimes when you think about it, it's the cheapest way they can get to gain promotion to be honest. It's pretty much a waste of time and you would be better of investing your skills somewhere else where you make more than what hundreds of airdrops could potentially give you (assuming all those hundreds were legitimate ).

Actually when the market is in its toes or dipping pretty bad, many would be desperate to get cheap coins and I am not surprised that a lot of these projects are going out suddenly.

I trust airdrops launched through exchanges such as Binance, KuCoin, Bybit and other exchanges rather than looking for airdrops from telegrams, social media or other websites because those exchanges provide airdrops to their members and this has been happening for a long time. Many of these airdrop promos expose people to fraud after they provide detailed information about the project. At the same time, the project does not give them anything and only promises to wait a while.

Why they aren't paying participants with tokens?
Because they don't want it to in the first place.

What do you think? If you participated in an airdrop campaign, you will get the tokens automatically? It doesn't work that way unfortunately. At first place, most if not some of the projects who are launching an airdrop campaign doesn't want to pay those bounty hunters their tokens because they don't want it to.

before few moths i received at least 10 airdrops per month and now it has been reduced to 2-3 drops per month although i worked even more harder on airdrop campaign.


What could be the reason ?? comment your ideas specially OGs. this is for you.

You're working hard?
It seems like you are working very hard but aren't being paid at all.

There is a problem with you. You are working hard, spending too much time in promoting these scam campaigns and yet you aren't paid at all? Maybe it's time for you to think another way to earn money and don't rely on airdrop campaigns only. I wonder why you posted this kind of thread? Are you depending on airdrop campaigns too much?

Hello, i was watching for few months now and got that most of airdrop campaigns specially airdrop bots on telegram  don't pay participants with tokens. it's a nature that many airdrop bots don't pay or scam participants after getting them promoted through users. but this time it's different i think. before few moths i received at least 10 airdrops per month and now it has been reduced to 2-3 drops per month although i worked even more harder on the airdrop campaign.

Most scammers are using the Telegram platform to seek their target victims. Scam projects are fake pages and launch fake airdrops so their project would look legit. To be honest, lots of scams and fake airdrops are all over Telegram nowadays and it's too disappointing that you won't get paid after doing all the tasks that they would ask you to do. It is better to do research first and check if a project is legit so you will not fall for the trap of fake airdrops.

The answer is pretty simple it is because the project is a big scam.
If they couldn't even keep up to their words on the people that help them how do you expect them to follow their road map?
For me airdrop is the easiest and cheapest way for them to promote their project and if they couldn't afford to pay for it how do you expect them to continue?

Talk with yourself about what's wrong with you. There are only scam airdrops in the market. It seems like that you were joining airdrop without even seeing reputation of project that did airdrop. That's your fault

What could be the reason ?? comment your ideas specially OGs. this is for you.

The reason is you have been working on the scam airdrop. This is the main reason why you were not receiving the tokens. Why don't you try to do something better like play to earn or bounty campaign? Airdrop campaign was pretty much the same like gambling with your luck. Sometime you get paid but in another time you will be scammed and i think most of airdrops were scam. Scammers can create new tokens easily and used airdrop to attract followers and they will not give what they have promised.

That's because most people can't read the tokenomics or valuate the project in any way. I've seen so many times that bounty managers (or the teams) have valuated the project to hundreds of millions so that they can basically name their token price. When or if i confront them about i usually get kicked out from the discord/telegram for fudding.

IMHO there should be a system that prevents teams bounty managers to make up valuations and numbers. Now the whole bounty section is kind of free for all and anything goes. Worst thing is when the project doesn't even have an announcement and we can't give them negative trust for it. Sure we could always blame the bounty managers but that's not a road most of us want to go.

Specific airdrops might have their specific problems but in general airdrops are often scamming their participants after collecting some sort of personal data from them in the first place. It is the cost of being greedy for the so-called "free money". While you could get some legit coins through airdrops who were running properly, you are less likely to find such projects nowadays.

Be on the lookout to make money but if it is given for free, be careful that you dont end up giving away your own data to such an extent that might get you into trouble. Because there are loads of low income country users in this forum who just want to accumulate shitcoins hoping for something big, they easily get fooled by such airdrops.

The crypto space is no longer what it used to be few years back. Scammers have infiltrated the cryptocurrency industry using it to scam and defraud people. Basically, most projects that end up not paying the people that helped them to promote their project is very likely a scam project. It simply means that such project may equally rug-pull/run away with people's funds after ICO, IDO, etc. It is unfortunate that negative events are being witnessed in the crypto space because of the nature of the technology. From not paying airdrop participants, hacking of crypto wallets, to the FTX collapse, are all pointing to the same thing: insincerity, deceit, scamming, and other vices infiltrating in the crypto space. I am hoping for a better technology that will even make airdrop participation, bounty campaigns, etc. to be a smart contract activity where promoters work will be rewarded automatically without human element intervention. I think it is important to research before participating in any airdrop if you have to.

I think its a very clear if any admin and the owner of projects ect which can't want a distribution to there users and some cases are that Admin can't satisfied to a work so they cheat a there participant and then they can't pay a reward to there users its a very wrong way so be careful of these scam projects.

[virasisog]

Projects that don't pay their airdrop participants won't pay any charges so it will be another way for them to save though it would ruin their reputation. Another reason is, most new projects nowadays don't survive so there's no sense in paying their participants with coins without good value. Scam projects are also everywhere these days so no wonder why many participants end up getting unpaid. Cheaters and scammers will promise us a lot so we also need to be wise or else we will only be wasting our time doing all the tasks that they will ask us to do.

there could be parties who take advantage of the airdrop program, this is the first reason.
then it is also possible that the airdrop provider only takes advantage of many participants with the main goal of deceiving even though they promise to pay each participant to be more active in working, even though by using the services of their participants they have succeeded in attracting many investors. I think ridiculous things like that no longer need to be done by airdrop providers, at least they can appreciate what participants who have campaigned for their Airdrop or project have done.

Would up this again if I would since one particular project tried to  even steal my MEW wallet back in the days and thankfully I was not fool enough to just be baited into their phishing site. I know people still fall for those, but come on, that was like an old fashioned way.

Kinda scary to those who really went all in and disclosed their personal information though.

Actually, airdrops themselves have started to decline since 2017. However, there are still many projects that also provide airdrops to make promotions, especially those who really want a hype scheme. Airdrop can be a fairly effective method. Lately it may be different because of the decline in crypto projects, especially during the bearish era, most teams don't want to release their projects or just develop them. But what is certain, isn't the airdrop not always promising? especially new projects that do not have the guarantee to grow and survive in the market?

If there’s no plan to pay the participants better not to make any promotions are all because some participants are doing their best to participate on airdrops as many as possible but since a lot of scam projects, it ruins the reputation of airdrop and yes, this might not be worth it anymore. Anyway, if you are participating on any airdrop better to be more careful giving your personal details and to be safe, don’t expect that much.

I am a bit late to share an answer for this one but I would still explain why most airdrops don't pay participants with the tokens being airdropped by the project owners. To tell you honestly, it is a complete waste of time if you want to participate or join in any airdrop. As I have said, airdrops not paying participants is one of the reason why the participants not getting paid which is very obvious. The second is that the owner is either very busy managing the project, very lazy, telling lies to people where they said they pay their participants when they join the airdrop. Third, I don't think that airdrop is still a trend until today unlike few years ago. Fourth, airdrops doesn't reward that much or you will only receive small amount of money minus the transaction fee and more fee.

^In addition, because it depends on the project itself if they have a failure, they will not get pushed through which means most of them will abandon if seeing they did not succeed which is all projects now don't have a real utility or it is repeated by other projects.
It could be the main reason is project failure, or once if they will succeed, they will pay only a small amount, because not all projects will have an amazing value after listing on the exchange, they will eventually encounter failure which if they don't survive that is the reason they don't have value.
So that is definitely right don't waste your time in airdrop hunting, it is worth nothing as of now.

[nakamura12]

Or just like the early airdrop, you just need to post your wallet address and the free token or coins will be in their way to your wallet.

There are some airdrops like that but most airdrops I participated before and all the airdrops I have seen so far is a complete waste of time. I was going to sell it when I see the cost of transaction fee is the same value of the airdrop. Let's just say airdrop I have is worth $5 where the transaction fee alone already cost you $5.

^In addition, because it depends on the project itself if they have a failure, they will not get pushed through which means most of them will abandon if seeing they did not succeed which is all projects now don't have a real utility or it is repeated by other projects.

Yeah it that is also true. Forgot to mention this one which is also a possibility of why the participants are not getting paid even a cent.
