Sorry bro, there is nothing absolutely free even in free town. Grin

Airdrop is way of marketing and promotion by this projects as awareness, you do a task and in return, they give you a penny mostly range in between $3 to $10 ( that's was how it used to be in the past during ICO boom ) for your time. Though, I don't see them as anything as it something you do once and forget.
However, I don't think we still have trusted airdrops, they turned out to be scam after collection of users data in the form and gaining thousands of followers on their Facebook, Twitter and Telegram channels. Nevertheless, don't do kyc for any airdrop, we have seen how Clipx collected users data and deleted their website and Telegram group.

"In the cryptocurrency world, airdrop refers to a procedure through which a blockchain project distributes a free coin or tokens to the wallets of active members of the blockchain community"

That was the meaning of a "cryptocurrency airdrop" According to Google, so thats true it is confusing because if you are going to fulfill any task in exchange for tokens thats not called "free tokens" anymore because you already fulfilled the task thats why you paid with tokens. IMO, it's more like a Bounty payment in exchange for your work or simple task that you've done. I believe that the true airdrop was the UNISWAP UNI token airdrop because you didn't do anything and then you can claim the 400 UNI tokens for free because using the UNISWAP DEX is a normal thing to do so it is not considered as a task.

Yes, there is some confusion in terminology. Many projects call this - airdrop, but its something that looks more like a bounty campaign, since it implies active action on the part of the participants. But often this substitution of terms is done deliberately in order to manipulate people. For this reason, you need to look at which requirements in airdrop, you may not even want to participate in it.

There are still airdrops where you only need to specify your Ethereum or some other wallet, but usually such airdrops are just scams, and of course, airdrops now are like mini bounties, where you need to complete various tasks to get an airdrop, but all these airdrops take little time, so you can spend time on them and maybe they will send something.

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.

If the duration of the airdrop is short, I think thats under airdrop. Ive been participating with a lot of these before and normal airdrop is just filling up form with very simple one time task to get or eligble for reward. Buy if its a social media with weekly task and earning stake, we could say that its a bounty campaigning and prize will be depends on the pool of the program.

Same purpose but the duration it is launch what differs thr airdrop from campaign.

We could really consider them as a bounty with a lesser work than a regular one.
But they are still kind of a bounty for me since we need to work to earn their token and not to mention that most of them are also scam so they are really similar Grin

.

So, if those tokens are worth nothing, then you effectively are getting what you invested, which is nothing. So, you end with Nothing for Nothing lol!

not many airdrops really pay, almost I see full telegram group bounty many users spam airdrop scam there, usually their mode attracts a lot of users after many of their users ask users to pay gas fees to claim their prizes, that's still a lot outside there, to be honest right now I'm not interested in the airdrops that come if not from a big project

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.

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.

I've also seen that in some of their projects there is also an airdrop bounty, even in my email many people have come offering to join Airdrop and have to fill out the form for the project but they don't give any assignments, but I just think positively about this, maybe they just want to hand out free coins to let everyone know the project exists. So in essence Aidrop is actually the same as other bounty campaigns, it's just that they don't give any task to this Aidrop bounty but the prizes we get from Airdrop are only slightly different from other campaign prizes.

Be quit when receiving airdrop form sending to your email because I have check many fake form giving to take back our wallet data, every day I received many time email for joining an airdrop project with fill form, but I check is correct website or not and some of email I delete from my inbox, I think many people wanna get scam us because our email connected with some bounty project and airdrop project, next time always use not exchange email when joining bounty campaign, airdrop and subcribe netletr because will give impact with your email hacked and your wallet exchange is stole.

You own the pen

As for me, airdrops are one of those works that you are not going to fulfill every week. it is a one time job and after you've done all of that, you only need to wait for its distribution in its given time. Bounties are not like that, you need to work every week to secure your stakes and work until the campaign is finished. As for the term "Airdrop", I understand it this way and prepare to join it than bounty because of the less work you need to do.

Airdrops are getting more scams and confusing people the projects bring airdrop to the market to improve but airdrop wants personal data which has reduced the demand a lot from before no one believes in airdrops hacking id with personal data No project is able to give anything without interest. That's why it's best to stay away from airdrops most participants are vulnerable to airdrop.

I've been into Airdrops since 2018 I guess but only 1% of projects asked people for their wallet address without doing anything other than submitting the address, almost all Airdrops will ask you do join their twitter accounts, facebook accounts and other social media accounts before qualified for payment

Ever since I follow some airdrops, it always require something to do like following a twitter page, Facebook page, instagram, and etc. I find it easy so in my opinion it is quite okay to have those tasks before they send coins.

You are correct. that term was specifically for giving people incentive without any work involved. This was done so to bring popularity to the project. However, it has changed its meaning overtime and now people don't really understand what it means and they use it in return of social media marketing and share private information. From what I have learned these so called airdrops ask for very private information and god knows who they are selling it to. I advice people to be careful and don't sell your private information for few $.

I find it funny that it "just" came into your mind. This problem is here for years.
Yes, most so-called airdrops are actually bounty campaigns.
Yes, most give worthless coins or tokens.

Will this continue to go on? Yes, until something really big is done forum-wise, but I don't think that'll ever happen. There's freedom of speech which includes misusing terms (whether it's for misleading or not).
From what I see newbies are still eager to join, no matter they call it airdrop or bounty, no matter how many and how difficult are the tasks, no matter how useful (not) is the coin/token.
I guess that they need to get burned a couple of times to start learning/understanding. (Quite sad).

All in all I don't see it a breakthrough. I guess that people are not so strict with the words, especially as for many English is not the first language and it doesn't matter you call is airdrop, bounty or supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

These day6s I think the Airdrops are the biggest scam. While they are going to distribute the free coin so why they need some data of the participants also they are seeking many personal data of the participant in their form. Everybody knows that only the address is enough to get the coin. So, I never participate in any kind of airdrop which is seeking personal data other than the address and the Telegram user ID.

Many Airdrop requires a lot of information and you need to do many task just to receive a cent of $, its not worth it if you're planning to participate. Looking for many comments here, it looks like the we mislead Airdrop especially the hunters who are looking for more airdrop, it become a bounty now. Well, some big airdrop didn't ask for anything at all just like on UNISWAP, maybe a surprise airdrop is a lot more worth it than to those new projects who keep on asking for your personal information and asked you to follow their social accounts, that's a bounty job.

Living the truth....

Most of the Airdrops don't worth it, because a lot of people get into it and when there is no rank between them all of them can just get a few stakes, That is why I choose bounties better, where it is different and we can try for bigger stakes, usually airdrop just come with a small task that you can do in a few minutes but in bounties, you should do it for some weeks, maybe.
