Though Airdrop and bounty campaigns can both get a free token as a reward they are still different from each other as for the mechanic's condition. For airdrop, you will only have one specific task and most of the time they have referrals, while bounty you need to finish a certain period of time to do tasks, and sometimes you also need to submit a report every week. They will check your stake according to what you reported.
That's why I started to avoid some bounties back in the days. The bounty reports just craps down your post history and you'll just look like a spammer from the eyes of many, hindering you to apply for future campaigns although you shouldn't just be here for those as this ain't earning platform.

yes, I also agree with that. after a long period of inactivity on this forum, I often encounter the words "airdrop" but participants are required to do the task, but it should be as you say "airdrop is the distribution of altcoins / tokens without doing any tasks".
if the participant is required to do an assignment, it is better to use the word "bounty" and omit the word "airdrop"
Unfortunately at this time, the airdrop and bounty campaign has nothing to make it different, everyone has a task and it looks like more and more people are participating in the airdrop and of course that will make the results obtained less, different like a few years ago which could still get results lots of airdrops. if the participant is required to do an assignment, it is better to use the word "bounty" and omit the word "airdrop"

Are those spreading all over around especially in this forum known to be an "airdrop" is considered an airdrop or bounty campaign since some of those are requiring people to fill up some of the forms or need to sign up or follow some social media accounts, etc?
Since you did some task or work to get those coins.
They have changed the meaning of airdrop into something related to bounty campaign, an airdrop is you just give your address and they will send you the token or they will hit claim and you will get the token, this is the airdrop that I learned when I was active in airdrop, now you have to do many things sometimes you have to undergo KYC.
actually bounty or airdrop is included in the type of airdrop because we get coins for free, even though in bounties sometimes the task is a little complicated.
but still, both including airdrop are indeed confused when you think about it.
but it is the same as their goal to promote their respective projects in different ways.

Everyone does have a different perception. Personal experience regarding airdrops. I get a little altcoin by the way and conditions that have been made, for example is by creating an altcoin wallet they provide or other orders. Meanwhile, if we want to get more altcoins, in my opinion, it's better to join the bounty.
This thought just comes to my mind especially these days, with a lot of altcoins doing airdrops or giving away different altcoins.
But I got some confusion here when the "airdrop" term used.
Because for what I believe the meaning of "airdrop" is a way of giving a free coin/s to some wallet addresses without seeking any investment or doing nothing.

If you say so, it means that it doesn't deserve to be called an Airdrop, because it has done the job. Same is the case with Bounty. Bounty in the sense of the word is a gift. Meanwhile we do many tasks to get tokens. This means that this is not a bounty, but a work wage (salary).
you think it's just a name or meaning, but the authenticity of the airdrop is that no token goes into your wallet by itself. All airdrops at least have their own rules. and what I often encounter, especially promotions via social media, twitter and there are other ways such as sending gas fees for claiming airdrop tokens.

Different airdrops have different requirements and the basic aim of an airdrop is to send some free coins to interested people but they require some work to be done like one may give out coins for just posting your coin address and name while some may ask you to link your social media and this is also done to ensure that participants are not cheating because abusing of an airdrop is common.you did some task or work to get those coins.
I call them bounty if they require you to fulfill a particular task. Campaigns and airdrops are similar actually but the only difference is that while campaigns have a strict task you need to perform but airdrops are usually only to connect your social accounts or fill a small form and get your coins. Also airdrop coins are fixed but bounty campaigns payment usually varies from user to user based on how well they perform the task given to them. 
It's not hard work to join Airdrops I guess that's why many refer to them as free money, you just need to follow the project social media accounts like facebook and twitter and do some retweeting, this won't take much of your time, can't be compare to bounties that takes weeks and months
This is the main point for involving the maximum number of participants through the airdrop system: obtaining benefits with the minimum of effort. Most often, tokens received through airdrops add to your crypto portfolio numerically and at the same time will have no value - they will remain just garbage. But in general, airdrops as marketing - working well.

Even some airdrops take a long time to send and I have filled so many forms and applied for so many airdrops but I don't think I get all of them maybe because most of the airdrops are cancelled and some change their mind.that is why there are so many people who cheat and an unreasonable number of participants with a not so large allocation. many have joined the airdrop campaign just to try their luck with the tokens they will get.
Most of the good and decent airdrops now do KYC for the same reason and make sure there is no way the same person can claim the airdrop multiple times. I have seen even guys submitting fake identity proof and claiming more coins so there is not much that can be done about it but at least a single guy cannot claim the airdrop 100 times because making an email and claiming is way simpler than arranging fake IDs.

Airdrop nowadays have changed their requirements. But before, like in 2017, most airdrops will just ask your eth address or coin address to receive their coins without doing anything. But now, most of them will require you to tweet or like their social media channels to be eligible for airdrop. And the problem these days, is that when you finally receive those supposedly free coins, they are not worth sending to the exchange as you may incur higher tx fee than its actual value. So basically, you just wasted effort.
And sometimes, some projects will ask for gas fees from their participants in order to get their share.
Men, i missed those airdrops that really gave free tokens to participants without doing so much work or tasks successfully just to get qualified. Projects now are just stubborn and very clever that wanted so much tasks like doing more likely bounty tasks and i am okay with like, follow and retweet stuff but to the extent beyond that is not airdrop anymore. And asking fees to claim airdrop tokens are just not good at all, more likely it's all "fee-drop".

So true, airdrops now are very frustrating to deal with because they ask too much conditions like need to buy their tokens first before they give your airdrop shares you worked for. Mostly newbies will only fall for that kind of scheme and now its still blatant acts wherein there are many fake airdrops circulating online right now. I have seen also airdrops asking private keys thru forms which is more severe case of fooling newbie participants.

It has changed a little bit over the years now. Previously airdrop used to be a just simple tasks like saying hello or joint telegram bit now they are getting more out but I would say it isn't very tough work.

Most of the purpose of airdrops is for marketing, so I don't think there will be any project that requires you to just enter your wallet address, but you need to do some extra tasks. As it is said, no meals are free. But I got some confusion here when the "airdrop" term used.

Are Airdrops still paying? YES they are but 99 percent of Airdrops won't worth your time, I Know it doesn't cost a thing to join Airdrops, you are only going to spend very few minutes on each Airdrop campaigns but why? For few pennies or a 1$ ? I'd rather take that chances with bounties instead.
That's right, if we look at the rewards given through the airdrop program, it is not really worth the time used by each participant especially if the gas costs at this time can sometimes be expensive suddenly, so joining the airdrop doesn't mean it's not good, it's just only the results are not commensurate.

For me, and for what I know, airdrops supposedly are free. I mean, you don't need to do anything just give your wallet address. And if it says, airdrop that needs to like, share or follow, it is not an airdrop but a bounty campaign for social media.
I suggest not wasting the time you have only for airdrops that have lots of fake airdrops, even though there are airdrops that really pay the participants but there are also scams and we should note in what airdrop you participate so that they can be replaced by reminders.
