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

I cannot believe that airdrops are still relevant these days. That was like 2017-2018 trend back then and I thought they just.....disappeared. When someone tells you for free money in exchange of some information, I don't count on it anyway. Airdrops aren't worth pursuing now, OP. It's almost always a waste of time just for the devs to get participants/followers/likers.

I even recall some airdrops I joined back then that tried to steal my wallet and yeah it was an unsecured one, but still.

Airdrops are no longer profitable. Airdrop participants are not being paid because both the participants and the project owners are dishonest. Bots and cheating have been used by participants. Project owners dislike dumping by paying tokens. Because most project's token price fall immediately after they are launched. As a result, if more Airdrop participants create sell pressure, the price will fall further. As a consequence, this is one of the reasons why airdrop rewards are not paid. Another reason is that the project itself is a scam. So there's no reason to pay for useless scam tokens.

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 airdrop campaign.

You already said most of the airdrops were just scams and if you see less airdrops these days literally means their scamming technique isn't effective anymore so they didn't try to attempt it any further.

For legit airdrops paying with tokens becomes a headache as well because the transaction fee is higher than what the token value they're going to transfer so this isn't really practical to spend 1000 to send 100 worth of tokens.

Bounty campaigns and airdrops have been problematic since a long time ago. To avoid getting scammed by those campaigns, adopt some safety measures:

Only promote projects paying in stablecoins or reliable cryptocurrencies, make sure the money to pay participants really exist (campaign manager has to show address containing the funds), look for campaigns managed by reputable members. These three steps must keep you away from scams and from wasting your time for nothing.

I've done a lot of airdrops in the past and stopped working on them in 2018. That's the year the airdrops and bounties became 99% scam. IMO
because there are so many new projects that appear and provide airdrops for free, only a few pay and the amount doesn't match what was done. like this year a lot of shitcoin airdrops have appeared and I often get emails about airdrops but when I research it's just some useless shitcoins.
so to take part in the airdrop for now is just a waste of time, and even though someone is paying, it's not in accordance with what is being done.
but if someone is still paying and the price is high like Aptos, I consider it just luck and that's what I call 99% scam, meaning there is still 1% that is not scam.

This is not new anymore, this has been the problem since then and that is why airdrop is not good anymore and they are not paying that much, not unless a big project came in and they have a good plan for their platform. Bounties are still paying though with their own token, the only problem is the value of those token and its hard to if its worth it to participate or not at all. Always choose the best bounty, and know if they have a better future with their product or services, bounty is also a big risk to take and you should be more willing to accept it.

so many airdrops are scams nowadays, all the good rewards are moving over to the staking programs released by many reputed platforms and it could be said that following airdrops nowadays just not worth it anymore, you see the most legit airdrops are usually listed in CMC and you see the statistics of the followers of the airdrops, it just really high and I don't think you gonna make quite the fortune out of it, just invest a little bit and follows staking programs you'll get better rewards in the long term.

Ive been into airdrops before and bounty campaign. I could say is before only few are joining the airdrops unlike now that dozens of people are lining up to join it which reduces the reward significantly. Also the value of airdrop before somehow considerable and huge but now its different too. Maybe not enough for a gas usage when you try to sell.

Also some projects are linked with scammers and only trying to use participants as a tool for marketing to execute a huge scheme.

Whenever something related to bounties and airdrops were discussed it is possible to see the year 2017-18 into discussion. Those are days when the people aren't much aware about the existence of cryptocurrencies. By the time the participants were less and now the market have widened in a much larger scale. This makes way for the increased number of participant resulting in low rewards. Among them, once again it is hard to find trusted bounties and airdrops that give good rewards as most of them were trying to use the details gathered through these bounties and airdrops for the marketing purpose as said above.

[cryptoaddictchie]

yes sir, that is the problem of airdrop campaigns nowdays. for last few months i have completed almost more than 1500 airdrops and i got nothing there.

1500 is a lot and knowing these are all nothing is really dissapointing. Maybe try to join some with really those are high value projects only. Cause doing airdrop now with easy task is not gonna give you money, unlike before that even filling up a form for an airdrop can give you $500 or more in value.

Nowadays most of the projects are giving airdrops to their testnet users. so in my opinion, you should pay more attention to these testnet airdrops instead of these telegram bot airdrops.

Recently Aptos airdropped to their node runners and NFT minters (which was on the testnet) which was more than $2k+

I suggest you follow this Twitter user if you want to participate in testnet airdrops: https://mobile.twitter.com/MingoAirdrop

(Never use your main wallet for such airdrops, rather create a new wallet and don't deposit any funds)

It is very difficult indeed to get an airdrop that keeps its promise like what is offered by developers to bounty hunters, this is because there are many projects that are schemes and don't have the right development or are deliberately made to increase account followers and create communities which can be sold for sale. make it a target market.
Maybe there are some who give the reward but it is indeed very difficult because there are many competitors who also want to get the prize, sneaky actions (such as bot accounts) among bounty hunters also add to the increasingly difficult competition to get into the airdrops winner qualification

Airdrops has change it's ways over the years. I do notice that airdrops with heavy task and task that require you to spend some money such as testnets are the one who pays and most likely has the most value out of all airdrops out there. Those airdrops who only shares there social media, follow people, posting on social media and other light task that can easily do and easily be abused by multi account users are the one who certainly doesn't have any value or worst will not distribute tokens. These telegram bots are widely known for being abused and not paying. Don't waste your time on easy airdrops, There are little to no worthy free airdrop anymore.

For a few reasons they usually do not make payment one is that falling of project that will not be able to collect the expected money against their project. Another, if it is only a scam project, then they will not pay you or no money will be available from that promotion. Some projects try to do well but do not survive and some projects are created only to scam. Another thing is to keep in mind that if the market condition is bad, the projects are usually not succeed. As a result, it is useless to promote or join at any airdrop.

Its time for you to stop doing airdrops these developers don't have to intention to develop their platform and put their shit token in the market, they just want to grow their social media accounts because these airdrops will ask you to do tasks before you qualify to their airdrops, they are actually selling these social media accounts or they use this accounts to promote scam projects like Ponzi scheme.
The definition of airdrop in Crypto has drastically changed it used to be you leave your address and they just send you your token but now it's more of a bounty campaign, you have to do a lot of tasks, airdrops are wasted effort and time.

[dothebeats]

There's simply just a lot of you guys in the airdrop that only some are receiving the rewards.

They are not not paying, but you may have just joined a little late for the party. There are still some projects out there that pay out a reasonable sum after a bounty goal has been completed or reached, although you're right that they're few and far in-between. If you're already allotting much time in pursuing these airdrops, then you may as well double your time and effort because it's really hard to find one which tokens are still valuable and really worth your while.

Or better yet, do not chase airdrops anymore because they're not worth it for the time you're giving it.

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.

All airdrops rewards are steel by indonesian, Indian, Pakistan peoples. I have one of few friends from most of asian countries they cheat major airdrops community well. Even in AMA and bounty also. Once one of my friend gave me a tg bot. It can add up to 30 tg accounts. So what i need to do that go to telegram ama channel and give that group joining link to bot. Then all the tg accounts will join that channel auto and once they unmute the group that bot posting unique question regarding the project. So most of ama is eassy wining.

Also there are lot of indian/bangaldesh commiuinties about airdrop.There are people who provide airdrop bots reff for 2-3$. You can get 300-350 reff eassy by paying 2-3$. My advice is if you are doing airdrops now you must learn how to cheat otherwise you will not win and also waste your time.

I don't know for sure why most airdrop campaigns are not paying anymore but i can take a guess. I think that today the crypto space is just flooded with scammers and new projects and of course probably at least 95% of those new projects are totally worthless meme-tokens that either never even get going or that will be dead within a few days again.
Airdrops are usually done by such bad projects because the good ones don't need to do an airdrop because people are interested in buying them anyway. Back in 2017 or 2018 i also joined some airdrops but i started doing that a few years ago because it is just not worth it. Even if their are legit airdrops then most of them are only worth 1$ because of those professional airdrop hunters that are having 100s of fake ID's to participate.

I assume airdrops have cooled down because the market has reached the disbelief phase. To simplify it, airdrops is considered an advertisement sort because it increases awareness about the token. The most recent example is Aptos airdrop, which made big noise around the project as many people managed to get it freely and posted that on the social media making everyone hear about Aptos token. Now, as the market has no serious capital inflow, it's not an appropriate time for projects to release their tokens. When there is new capital inflow in the market, projects will be encouraged to release their tokens including airdropped tokens.
