Topic: Airdrops Getting Tougher: Is the Effort Still Worth the Reward? - page 2. (Read 417 times)

In recent time, we are having too much hype specially social media channels are creating troubles because scam developers only need few peoples for having good intention about their project then we have the huge number of community members jumps in which bring good mess up and at the end mostly are crying about have nothing from this airdrop but sadly no one learning from mistakes with many are doing same job for nothing and giving their time and effort.

Hamster is the biggest example as how developers use this community and then have changes into their airdrops which was completely unfair, but we can't do anything about this, but we need to understand about these ground realities and not jump in these time-wasting things because as members are giving their time and effort for these useless and scam airdrops they can do better things or can learn about skills which will help them.

the hardest part of following airdrop always predicting the legit ones, EIGEN is rare occurrence, because they decided to go with tiered system and added bonus at the end of the TGE.

compare it with puffer finance for example, tiered system but really low rewards . I've seen plenty of people staking few ETH, not selling despite reaching ATH for the sake of puffer and then holding until ETH go back to $2500 only to get rewarded with fixed tiered reward of 70 puffer which only equal to less than $35. crazy I know but it happens.

this is why I only consider airdrop just as a side hustle that might be waste of time and most of the time just hit or miss.

The main issue is that airdrops are not reliable. You can get a reasonable amount of money from a project you never expected, and you can get out with dust from a project you hyped. That's just the truth about airdrops, and you will never be certain of one if you get paid.
I missed on some airdrops that paid really well, like EIGEN, I also don't want to miss out on anyone again, but I will also not rely on them because they can disappoint. But if I get a reliable airdrop, I will participate because I am fed up with the dust rewards gotten from telegram tap to earn airdrops.

Talking about airdrops that are currently considered not too commensurate with the results that occur due to the increase or hype that exists so that in the end more and more people know about an airdrop, it is certain that the results obtained will also not be too large and may not even be commensurate which is certain that this will also be utilized by developers to make levels at least more difficult than before because indeed a large increase certainly provides a situation that will certainly make them realize that they will feel above the wind.

For now, airdrops that come suddenly and in a vulnerable duration that is not too long and of course there are not as many enthusiasts as for some airdrops that have excessive hype, it will be much more profitable in my opinion because we can take the example of some telegram airdrops such as hamsters which have excessive hype, it becomes overloaded and not too worth it to do.

Yeah, i do remember those years on which airdrops arent that hard. To qualify yourself into such airdrop then you would really be just that needing to sign up with some google form then viola, you are already that
accepted on getting some drops and wait up for its value to be shown and get those nice amount of tokens with ease, which is really that totally different as of this moment on where you would really be needing up
to do various tasks and theworst on which you would really be making use of some amount for gas or taking up transactions on which it would really be adding up on the expense and this one really sucks.
You are spending on something on which you arent that even know if it would really be worth it or not. Airdrop nowadays are shit and something that you cant be sure on ending up some value.
The worst is that they do really end up on a couple of months or even years on which the most disappointing thing at all is that you've been grinding for so long but you do only get 10 bucks. 

It's no longer 2017 to early 2018 era, airdrops are no longer worth the try. During the time that I mentioned, we have seen a lot of airdrops that really gave something to the investors or the bounty hunters. Although it try to make a resurgence with the latest craze of tap to earn and some early or prime mover of this project really game a good airdrop. However, the recent Hamster was a disappointment, and that's what I read and heard from people. Months and months of farming and tapping and everyone was with this project expecting a huge returns for their hard work and yet during the airdrop, majority of them didn't get what they expecting and so it was really disheartening for them. And with that, I would say that airdrop is not as what it used to be and the reward is not going to be worth in the end.

The more referrals you spread the greater your chances of getting the tokens, now airdrops have a referral system if you don't rely on this then you will miss out on airdrops with only a few tokens received.

That airdrop is still difficult to guess, even I got a worthy reward from Eigen while only a little money was bet on Puffer but got the benefits.

I don't expect too much from airdrops so this is like gambling it is still difficult to predict how much we will get so it's better to think about it than to think about it.

You are frustrated because you are expecting something or maybe worse, you are expecting too much because you already received a high amount in one of the airdrops that you participated in. Do remember, these are airdrops which means they are free and you don't really have to expect something from them because most of them end up with dust value.

Many will join, that's a normal thing to happen, it also happens during the ICO time and it's not actually different from what is happening now. They will join any bounty that they can and if there's nothing to do buy just join a channel of a Telegram group then it's a bonus to them. Look, you didn't even make some huge effort to receive such an amount, just be thankful if you do.

Even though by choosing an airdrop that seems popular to enter, there is no guarantee that the airdrop will be good for the future, but it is necessary not to think about that, because now it is difficult to determine all that at the beginning, from the development side only thinking about so that more people follow it.

Thats why it would really be that important that on the moment or time you do consider out on dealing up with airdrops is that you shouldnt really be expecting too much into it. So that you wont really be ending up on getting disappointed on the moment of distribution of rewards. One of the risks involved dealing up with these things that you might be ending up on getting some peanuts or getting nothing at all. This is something that you should have that accepted since from the start or into the moment that you do deal up with these things. It will really be that recommended that you shouldnt really be putting up all of your time on dealing up
with airdrops because you wouldnt really be knowing whether it would really be worth or not for your time. Always expect the unexpected and this is something that could happen.

Its true that rewards nowadays arent that worth for your time because you would be needing up to have those tons of tasks but ending up on getting something which is really just that too small or something not really that worth for the thing you've done and this is something you must be anticipating on the time you do deal up with these things. So it will really be that just that depending whether you do have that sufficient time on dealing up with these things and go full time or simply doing up some side tasks on your free time.

First, these airdrops are just like some giveaway to the community of the projects that have used or liked them. Doing some stuff, tasks, doing transaction on their network and the rewards are on their own native token. Lucky you are that you've got $2k for Eigen when many did missed that or they've probably seen and heard of it but did nothing.

Those that have a lot of participants like millions, expect that you'll get peanuts from them. That's why those that are into airdrops are hunting those that have tasks regards to the network and testnets. That's more rewarding because it requires some fund too and the more you transact and spend on their networks, the bigger potential rewards that the participants will get. But don't get me wrong, there's no guaranteed with that and just remember that airdrops are like hit or miss.

That's the thing about making money on airdrops; it should be good, only a few people participate, and the allocation is good. So many airdrops are referral based; they do not limit their participants, so participants ended up with dust because of the huge number of participants.

Some developers brag they have a huge community or participants, but the fact is that huge numbers will suffer from wasted effort because of the allocation. Again,  the developers only think of their number, not what the community will get in exchange for their effort.

Yeah, usually, the line can be drawn after the allocation, beforehand, it's all a fuzz n' buzz

Airdrop is more of a number game like the bounty, with many people participating and the developers not limiting the participants, and the allocation is a small percentage of the supply; there's going to be fewer shares of each participant. You are lucky to have participated in a project with fewer participants and with good allocation, but of course the project should have potential.

Airdrops are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get. some are good and some are bad. Even if you did your research, there's still no guaranty that you're effort will be rewarded, I will not be surprised after the big hype; many participants will slow down and only pick airdrops that they think will have potential

Congratulations on the good money earned from the Eigen airdrop, this is rare these days. You must know that the more people participating in an airdrop the lower the money, don't let them deceive you about the community size, the community size only works when the community are actually investing, not when they are depending on the projects money.

So, when a good project is not hyped, you can be sure of higher returns.

No, I am not bullish on the project, neither am I bullish on any hyped projects as no one knows the fate of any of them until after listed and market force acted as usual.

I always say airdrops are not free money mostly in recent times the number of tasks you participate in is enough work, and recently their pay isn’t enough for the efforts exacted. Most airdrops right now mostly those on TG are just using people to enrich themselves (they’re farming yous not you farming the drops).

Is the effort still worth the reward? It depends on individual. If some people see $5 to $10, they will be happy, but while some can be very disappointing. If I see such amount, it will be a total waste of time for me.

Your device is working 24/7 for it. That is not an airdrop but money paid for the work you did through your device. About the airdrop coins, the coin may increase in price or the coin may decrease in price. If I receive any, I will convert it and spend it immediately than to be disappointed will its price falling.

When airdrops becomes more popular the smaller it would go round the community but if airdrops aren't that promoted in various media there would be probability of you earning something  reasonable from the airdrops, but if you think most of the airdrops you anticipates aren't worth the reward then you can stop doing airdrop and focused on something more much productive to you. For long I never involved myself with airdrop because i know too well that it would definitely ends with regrets as worthless rewards couples with my time wasted while doing it.

yes so the need to increase caution in choosing an airdrop is a natural thing, with the thoroughness and insight that we have about the airdrop, it will be more decisive in choosing it, so that no time is wasted when working on it, it is very important to study it in depth so as to avoid disappointment.

I would pick Blum out of all fo them, as far as I know, at least it has (or should have) some use cases as to being a future exchange and the storage for your crypto. I hope to see it up and running.
