just wondering if all airdrop is legit, how would I know that airdrop is legit or not?

You can't know it for sure, basically. But you can guess they are legit looking at their website, their whitepaper and their team.
Also, an important thing to keep in mind is the form. Which data are they requesting you in order to receive the airdrop? Many airdrops out there looks just scam attempts in order to extort users' personal data.

Airdrop is always free distribution of their tokens to gain attraction and reach.
Always check for if there is whitepaper available for that company and also check the team members.
Only way you can loose if you provide private keys of your wallets. Until that you are safe.
If they ask more details except for your wallet address, telegram user name, bitcoin talk profile link then it's fine. If they are asking more details just avoid it as they might be only interested in collecting data for third party marketing

Not all airdrops are legit because not all of anything crypto is legit. I think the main concern about any given airdrop is first, how much information do you have to give out in order to participate. If all they need is a wallet address, you haven't lost anything by sharing that info even if the airdrop never happens. The more identifying personal information requested, the more you want to do your homework about that airdrop, because you only want to share that kind of information with something legitimate. The other concern of course is your time. How much work do you have to do in order to earn the bounty. I consider an airdrop to be a free distribution whereas a bounty is awarded for work done. Obviously the more effort on your part, the more you want to make sure you're working for something real. Finally, make sure that if you're putting your own name and reputation out there publicly, that you're doing it for something that is legitimate. You don't want to gain a reputation of promoting scams, so before you send out that tweet or other public post about it, make sure you've done your homework about the organization.

I also participate in airdrop but i only fill-up those that has ask for wallet address, bitcointalk profile link and also the telegram. Most Airdrop will ask you to join there telegram channel then after a month you will receive your token as a reward in joining their telegram. Never give donations if they ask and don't entertain someone who message you thru telegram asking for investment it's a scammer.
Lastly, don't expect too much from them if you receive your token its good, if nothing just move on and find another opportunity.

You always have to check if they have a legit website. If they have a good team behind it. check their whitepaper and roadmap. Most importantly they don't ask for donations.

I like coins. I love ONION.

Do you have a coin in mind? DeepOnion does legit airdrops for completing simple tasks and having 50 ONIONs in your wallet. I know some other coins do airdrops and I know there are probably some scams out there. You need to research then ask if anyone has experience with that coin.
