That's a good summarization of the airdrops that has happened for all of these years. Soon, I think that these projects will be wiser around.
As you've mentioned about having some balance and criteria, I think that many of them will have that for the next trend so it's not actually a new trend.
It will become a repetitive trend wherein only those actual risk takers will be rewarded with the amounts they put on their projects.

You are missing ICO era 2017-'18 where there were lot of airdrops, literally shitcoins, still they would fetch you few hundred to thousands dollars.
2020 - Airdrops for all. No criteria
it was not 'no criteria', it was very simple requirement like even one trade on dex would make you qualify. Uniswap was the one starter of retrospective airdrop trend and you only had to trade/lp there once to be eligible. 
I remember the early days of this airdrop, where you can receive a lot of airdrops it does not matter if it is shitcoin or not because some of them are worthy and can make you quite good money.
Over time, airdrop has improved especially these days, where sometimes you can't cheat anymore. They already have strong way to identify if someone is cheating, like this sybil address thing.
thats true the sybil method of identifying cheaters are quite great ways to keep the reward allocated for real participants from being sliced away like that.Over time, airdrop has improved especially these days, where sometimes you can't cheat anymore. They already have strong way to identify if someone is cheating, like this sybil address thing.
moreover more and more airdrops nowadays are enforcing stricter qualification in which gonna force many of their participants to do all the task available the only thing that they did wrong is that they rarely
reveal the real allocated token for airdrops and early participants that has finished the task, imagine doing all these complicated task for a whole year and get rewarded a dollar.
this is why allocated token for airdrop should be revealed early.
2024 - We will waiting for the very complicated criteria due to a lot of users. Otherwise, the allocation will be small. (Eg: Zksync, Layerzero)
Having lots of users is fine. Bottom line there should be as much users as possible in using and testing these different projects and protocols. But the problem is there are users who want to cheat the airdrop by making multiple accounts and some even hire the services of click farms to game a lot of volume. :/ And what dev team wants their network to have a lot cheaters who don't use or won't really care about the project?
Anyway, Layer Zero is working with Nomis to filter their network from bots and cheats.
You could check your eligibility with Nomis if you're grinding for a Layer Zero airdrop.

These days lot of users farming airdrops using multiple wallets. So the criteria will be difficult for this year.
2020 - Airdrops for all. No criteria
2021 - $10K-30K per account. It has some criteria. (Eg: DYDX, Paraswap, Uniswap, 1Inch)
2022 - less complicated criteria(Eg: Aptos, Optimism)
2023 - some complicated criteria(Eg: Arbitrum). But this is like 2021. (Starknet coming soon)
2024 - We will waiting for the very complicated criteria due to a lot of users. Otherwise, the allocation will be small. (Eg: Zksync, Layerzero)
Q Blockchain has an incentive program launching this month. It's likely to be as profitable as the Uniswap drop. They have a waitlist on their twitter page. I already signed up but it's cool if you don't, more APR for me. 2020 - Airdrops for all. No criteria

Airdrop this year are more complicated but still many hunters are doing it since its a free money and they already get used to it.
actually not just this year but since 2020 when airdrop stars to be more complicated and when the team is asking too much requirements specially in their social media terms.comparing to the years before that when air drop hunters are just doing almost nothing but gaining their shares , and also there are so much cheating happening.

It’s actually good to see that every year there’s a big aidrops that will shock the market and I’m sure next year will be more exciting as many expects bull market next year.
but at least now becoming more realistic and legit not like in the past that most are just easy to join but scamming is what we can get.

The metrics used by the project developer to determine which users are eligible for the airdrop will always be changed, as they have their own matrics. It's still quite impossible to predict it accurately but the only thing that i know since a long time ago if user who used the platform or blockchain developed by the developers will always be eligible for the airdrop. That is becoming even more complicated caused by there might be a points mechanism to be implemented in the future of airdrop.
I saw that some dexes were airdropping its users through use similiar metrics like what arbitrum did but it's still remain unpredictable. Just always actively using the platform and we will always be eligible for the airdrop.
The only key to receiving an airdrop from the developers is always actively using their platforms. that's it.

thats just how it is, the more people are participating into the airdrops, surely the devs trying to filter only few of them so that the rewards remain worthy while also making the participants contributes more through the complicated qualification, moreover the fact that many of these project doesn't even bother to disclose their qualifications beforehand meaning its part of their marketing strategy so that the users that trying to participate into their project will try to finish every task like minting and interacting with smart contract as much as they can since its all still unrevealed criteria so they definitely want to increase their chances.
thats what bother me most, moreover if the criteria is so complex yet the reward allocated is so small, its like such a waste of time, that why this kind of strategy of making people left confused by the fact that they intentionally by intentionally not showing it just feels like they are taking advantage of the people.

The number of users who expect to receive airdrop from these projects has already reached 4 million and it will be very difficult to distribute coins to everyone, the number of which would be satisfied with the hunters. Accordingly, the selection criteria will be the strictest and those who have completed several transactions certainly will not receive anything.

have full details of your airdropped ? have you earned and joined all of those who mentioned?
sorry Am not a Airdrop fan so i am waiting to what will come in in 2024, because also I am not a social media active so i can not perform to what required by the airdrop.
Seems you still update with current airdrop information, did you participated in Blueshark airdrop have been distribution but depend on your level account or mission completed. Some participants I saw get reward above 1k of SUI coin because they are on the top rank position and the same with your criteria about airdrop not for all user.
Right now almost airdrop reward not all participants, they are limiting participant depend with how completed quest and some time an airdrop rule depend with how many referral do you have. I believe in 2024 will get difficult rule for participating in airdrop exactly after many airdrop launching as retro and need spent fees for qualifying as airdrop reward participants.
