All these airdrops nowadays seem to just be signature campaigns in disguise.
Where are all the "Real" airdrops?
Most airdrops are giveaways in disguise (or honeypots). You're partially right: most sigdrops (signature campaign airdrops) advertise themselves as airdrops too.
An example that was suggested in this thread was "howl".
All you had to do is submit your ETH address to receive the airdrop and that's it.
Exactly, that's a giveaway claiming to be an airdrop.
More Airdrops should be like the above example.
PM me if you know of some.
The "real" airdrops are/were: Byteball, Stellar, Bitcore, CLAMs, OmiseGo, and a few others (i believe Ripto Bux was airdropped on Waves.. there are a lot of Waves airdrops and most are garbage). Some people consider BCH an airdrop--I don't.. perhaps forkdrop is a better term, or just fork cuz thats what it is.
The "real" airdrops should start calling themselves
sharedrops (because they are).. Airdrops that give an amount in proportion to a separate asset are typically the only worthwhile ones (exceptions: NEM, Decred, and Ripple giveaways).
I totally agreed with you, most of the signature campaign named themself as airdrop, and yet we have to write at least a number of posts with a minimum characters to be eligible. I don't see how airdrop is it, lol...
