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.
In my opinion, it is not necessary for Airdrop because this is really meaningless. Besides your personal information may be affected by other things later. Because Airdrop is too much and very dangerous now. Dangerous scammers can get personal information from you.

Who else here join and complete a KYC in blockchain.com for the $25 Stellar Giveaway?
And these $25 can come a long way in some countries that willing to sell their identity for $25 USD.
blockchain.com is a legit business entity but still it carries some possible risk of hacking and leaking out millions of ID's and Passports.

Don't risk identity for some airdop which can worth under 100$, i understand maybe someone will think to make KYC if maybe get 10,000$ or more but for low doesn't worth and no one can know this teams, what will do with id.
Risking your identity for some pennies, not worth it. KYC is actually against the whole theory of cryptocurrency. They kill anonymity and make the transaction procedure lengthier and difficult.
I personally have experienced airdrop using KYC and I skip from the airdrop it and choose another airdrop without KYC because in my opinion the gift from Airdrop is not necessarily profit
Finally arrived to this point.. First, some project started to ask our KYC procedure for buying coins from the ICO's. Later the exchanges started to ask for KYC. Later bounty hunter had to send the KYC for their bounty rewards and now the airdrops.. I am sure that some of the bad projects would sell our infos for money..
You should be careful on submitting your personal information.
Just imagine giving you a penny to have your information and then what?
What would they do to your information ?
Do you think that it is worth the risk?

I think it's a serious matter.no one can't to easily ready to disclose their secrecy .my views if a project having good popularity in the market then have no matter. but ultimately it's own decisions of the investors.
It's a precaution for the team. This is the result of having unfriendly and unclear ICO regulations in different states. They do not want some government chasing them in the future so ICOs would rather require KYC.

I want to say according to my experience that everybody should avoid kyc for any airdrop coin. Because the maximum number of Airdrop is now fake and they are collecting peoples personal info. But you can do kyc some airdrop which is already popular coin and they are passing their couple of years through their project development . because some project are launching their main net and asking for kyc. such as some days ago I have seen quarkchian coin. so you can do these kyc without any hesitation.
The issue of kyc this days is getting out of hand, the only advice I have for those that can't disclose there information should stop participating in such project that requires kyc and look for project that don't requires kyc.
KYC for airdrop is better avoided, it has been proven that airdrop is only worth $ 1 to $ 2 which will be obtained, I have tried to follow 50 airdrop and the result is that they only pay $ 0.9 on average, really annoying
I will not do KYC on an airdrop project unless the project is good and provides enough funds, I only do airdrop on the blockchain site that I use to save funds, so they have KYC events to get XLM funds and indeed I use the site as my wallet
I'll never join Airdrop because I only waste more time if airdrop asks for KYC so in my opinion it is very clear fraud, essentially I'll not give my personal documents for $ 10 
Lately I do not really trust these airdrops, because some of them are SCAMs, and the others will not cost anything. I refused to participate in airdrops, unless it looks good. I do not inspire my safety, give me my personal documents to people who are going to fool me. Personal documents must remain personal.
I would agree with KYC for airdrop participants only if there was a KYC for team members of a project.

if the results themselves are not a big problem but sometimes we do not get the appropriate payment from airdrop so that it is not so suitable if we see today so much airdrop that indeed scams and harms the users
Exchange your personal data for a handful of unknown coins. Haha, no thanks. I think this is very stupid. It is worth passing KYC verification only on popular exchanges and promising projects.
Seriously, I consider passing the verification for distribution to distribute this is already superfluous since the goal of distribution is to attract people to the project and not to collect their personal information.
I don't think airdrop needs kyc. whatever the reason for asking aidrops participants to verify KYC is wrong. So do not ever provide data only for aidrops.

I personally don't like airdrops and I have never took part in any of them by choice. Though I have received a few tokens in my wallet out of nowhere but I haven't participated in any such airdrops.KYC is a big deal since we are giving our personal information to somebody who might make it public. Things might get worse if you make your personal information public.
I have read articles where hackers steal the KYC details and sell it on the dark web and some times ICO teams themselves misuse it.
So I would recommend not to indulge in any platforms where KYC is mandatory.
