Token developers call it "free airdrop" but everybody knows that they want you to use their signature in order to be able to receive the distribution, it is okay, but it is a different way to refer to a "bounty campaign", since you are getting paid by tokens for posting.
But once that everybody dumps their coins, the price is going to crash, and that happens with almost all the airdrop coins that are right now, like deeponion, it reached $5 each a few weeks ago, and now it is below $0,80 each.

Signature? What about ebtc, eneo, eltc airdrop do they have signatures? certainly not because they are purely airdrop

Just want to add insight, why some people do airdrop, and what are the advantages of people who do airdrop?

There is actually no risk to join airdrop as long as you dong share your peivate key.

I think the bottomline of all airdrops is just to gain easy money on both sides. But not good for real investors, because usually those projects are short-lived that you will be left hodling those coins and later on will have no more value in the market. So be careful in dealing with these free tokens/coins/assets.

airdrop type of distribution gives incentive for dev to increase value of a token. I think it's more fair way than  typical ICOs...

I think airdrop costs nothing for people who receive it, and is the best advertisement of their project which will bring much reputation.
BTW, if you are interested in XAS, you can pay attention to the CCTmie coin airdrop.
CCTime will airdrop, you can get more information here: http://docs.asch.mobi/en/whitepaper/cctime.html
CCTime is developed based on Asch, referring to the ANN of Asch to get further details: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21831492
The airdrop will reopen soon.

Instant community, maybe a more fair way of distributing as you don't need lot's of hash power.

ICOs have been very popular. However, ICO is heavily developer favored program.
Let's say they produced 10000 coins and each worth $100, and sold 9500 coins to the public durin ICO and kept 500 coins for dev themselves.
The dev raises $900,000 initially, and left with $50,000 worth of coins for themselves.
Ideally, the dev continues the development of their coin or services to increase the value of their coins.
However, to raise more money, it is way much easier for them to run away, and start another ICO project, than continuing their development works.
This is the reason why ICOs are heavily developer favored, and very risky for the investors.

Now, let's talk about airdrops. Airdrops are investors favored, since they don't cost the investor anything for the most part.
Because the developers do not gain any money in the beginning, they are required to put effort on development, in order to increase the value of coin to earn money.

It's an introduction for their product or project. Who don't want to have free money? But before you gets your stake on that airdrop. They required you to do some tasks. Maybe wear signature for weeks, tweet, or follow their page or slack sign up etc. For me, there's no difference between airdrops and bounties. Bounties are giving you tasks in able to get the stake and so as airdrops. I see some airdrops here. So far, i don't see an airdrops which is successful as deeponion. But it just dumped after.
Deeponion is a good project though. TOR system which you can't be trace. Total anonymity.

People do some airdrop to gain some free money for easy steps/tasks. The advantages of people who do the airdrop is to gaining profit, some of them is filling up the requirements that is required for joining the airdrop.

They do the airdrops rounds every once in a while because they want more people to have their coins. The price usually goes back up after they dumped their coins.

It's a great way get coins distributed to the masses, as long as there in genuine distribution. It also avoids ICOs legality issues

It's a efficient marketing strategy, and a very powerful one. There are too many ICOs and too many scams.

Successful examples you can see Byteball and Deeponion.

Despite the bad press of airdrops with new altcoins, this is most recently because they are actually bounties given for simple activities - posting a Tweet or simply replying with addresses from newly-created coins. To me this is just a form of marketing and does harm the price and value.

But airdrops in the past were a way of trying to create fairer distributions. Some devs didn't like the ideas of premining or holding tokens in ICOs that forced people to buy them.

What I mean is why the person who made the airdrop show is willing to throw away the money to share it with everyone. Is not that a self-defeating act?

I think it is mostly a marketing move, kind of like coupons. It makes people talk about it and get interested in the product. Also it increases the number of tokens circulating on the market, which can make it more visible.

it's fair to say that this is marketing ploy, but is it a good idea to have ICO + airdrop for your project? is it doable?

It really depends on the purpose of tokens in the project and the approach of the devs
ICO is good for getting initial funds to keep the project ongoing but the problem is the price is fix by the dev not the market, so most of the time it just overpriced and exaggerate the value of the tokens
Airdrop is good in terms of fair distribution to the people and devs is push to keep developing the project as if it has no project , ppl will just dump the coin
