If the airdrops token they gives is thousands of dollars value each participants for sure they will send their KyC to airdrops.
Don't assume because you give to the participants some token you will get their full information. Careful because we know a lot of Airdrop are scam so it means once you send your KYC maybe the team of airdrops or the projects and use your presonal details.

It could have just been that everyone should avoid projects requesting KYC for airdrops. It doesn't worth it — exchange one's private documents for peanuts. But what can be done when we have various participants with different needs, where some still don't mind risking their privacy data for small amount. The odds are always against the participants and hunters as there are the ones risking a lot for these projects.
Airdrops that requires KYC are very much annoying because they do not give much money like bounties do. Most at times, some of them don't even pay the money they promised..but stealing information for their own purposes.
Yes, what a drop you are. Top projects with affirmation of personality turn scam. And just donate my claim I’m koby for 5 $ This is stupid in my opinion.
Answers like selling indetities for few cents are pretty normal 
. But now try to imagine the situation of real company that are giving away free money, would they really send real money to non-exist people, to multi accounters?

It sounds reasonable to avoid projects, airdrops ,bounties that demand KYC procedures as may did turn out to be scams in the past.I often wonder on this,if the crypto space is grossly unregulated, why are they conducting kyc? I am yet to see any government agency demanding projects to submit kyc of their customers.
It's an illusionistic and opportunistic trend in how to get data from innocent new users! This warms up a black market that many have no concept! Airdrop is like donation in real life, no one proves donation. In addition, this ICO + Airdrop model is totally uncomfortable and is deceiving many people. Sincerely, avoid this type of situation, in the future you will thank.
I think you should never pass kyc especially in airdrop , you just give your documents to strangers who with 99% will be used for their own purposes
It may be regrettable that the Airdrop project requires KYC verification. Maybe many people don't like it because the results are very few and also have a big risk. For me, KYC is not a problem, if it is really needed and as long as the project I follow has good potential. For me, it is not a problem to pass KYC verification.
It really becomes a big problem and suspicious when it is coming via airdrop, airdrop is meant to be a fee distribution of their token which does not require any form of investment to come in as fund.I will treat any airdrop that ask for my KYC as strictly spam that want to get my details to be able to scam me either now or in near future, but for the real projects, I know they can request for KYC because they need to also verify whoever is bringing in money into their system since we do have a lot of large investors and whatever rule they create for the system must surely affect all users since they wouldn’t know in the first place whether a user is coming in with big fund or not.
Most Airdrops today are totally a waste of time. Imagine a project asking airdroppers to do KYC for token that does not worth more than 10 USD, though they ask for KYC to checkmate the activities of those that are expert in doing multiple accounts but to me, I don't think it should be up to that
The issue of KYC always raises questions whose answers are mostly not very discerning to the ears. It is quite unfortunate, I know most crypto enthusiasts are not comfortable giving out their personal information for KYC but there is little we can do about the situation at the moment. Most of these projects claim they are under a legal jurisdiction where KYC is very important for many business projects. The new trend is increasingly becoming worrisome as many airdrops are even requiring KYC verification from participants.
I try to skip any airdrop that asks for more than email address. How on earth should I make available my national ID and personal details for a project am not sure will evem succeed or get listed. I tried it once in my days as a greenhorn. I regret that act even till today.I can do a KYC for bounties but certainly not for a mere airdrop with few coins. But first, I have to be certain it is a laudable bounty.
Most project compulsory kyc after hunters are done hunting for them, I guess this are now new ways of not paying hunters or probably a method of saving 50% allocation of the airdrop campaign because most hunters won't do the kyc and the little that we finally do it, 50% of them won't be verified. So I strongly don't support the act of introducing kyc and it should be stopped.
if you know that the airdrop/ project is scam why risk to give your personal details on them.. mostly airdrop now are useless but there are still few that are valuable..
I think KYC system is destroying the base, the foundation of cryptocurrency – it's anonymity. I don't really like it.
For me it depends on reward, about what the whole projects is, how the project is going to handle some problems in future (AML policy). Always only go for legit ones if you want to do KYC!
KYC for something which might not worth up to 20usd, I wouldn't do such. Nevertheless, humans are unpredictable, so caution is always needed in such case.
I will repeat again, do not send your personal data to anyone except maybe a exchanges that requires it so that you can withdraw funds.
Airdrops asking for KYC is a scam for me. How the hell are they asking for KYC to just say give you $20-$50 dollars worth of token? And if you are in the right frame of mind, would you rather risk your info for that peanuts?

KYC's presence in a project for the requirements to be able to participate in the project is still full of pros and cons. where this KYC is needed by the project for perfect results. many do not agree with KYC because it involves personal data and privacy.
Some project teams intensional bring up kyc to reduce the number of participants, most especially those who are after the use of multiple accounts.
While their are some that are purely scam.

The Airdrop program requires KYC, I think it's too risky. Because a lot of Airdrop scams and we are afraid if the ID is misused. It's better to look for Airdrop that doesn't use KYC. We understand that KYC is very good because it can reduce fraud.
