Depends of what status you are. I think if you are rich people for sure it is not worth it to get only $25 XLM for your privacy.
But if you are person who really needed money it is worth it because those $25 worth of XLM is useful for you to your everyday needs.
But make sure XLM is really legit and once you send your information they will not use it in bad things but if the partners of XLM is really legit I don't think you need to be worry.

I don't want to sell my privacy just for that. What if they will use your privacy in somewhere else. Nobody will like it right? What if they'll earn more using your identity in wrong doings than the 25 usd they gave you? Don't trust anyone so easily in cryptocurrency.
Performing a KYC fir reputable companies like blockchain or stellar should not be an issue. The internet is not a darkweb and am afraid, even your personal details can be taken from social media without your consent. Stellar introduced the kyc because of unscrupulous individuals that will run the airdrop with over 200 accounts just to satisfy their greed. I support the kyc
I haven't claimed the airdrop yet because I believe it's not worth it, I always shunned KYC on all the ICO that I've participated in and that is a much bigger amount of coins that what blockchain is offering a lot of my friends are bragging they claimed their shares of the airdrops some people really don't care about spreading their vital information.
I wouldn't risk also my personal info from a $25-worth airdrop. even if the project is legit, why is it that suddenly they require to complete the KYC requirements to claim that free money? they should have explained it at the very start when people are signing up for the airdrop. but in any case, it is their prerogative to change procedure, it is up to the user if he will accept their terms and grab those few bucks in exchange of their identity. it all boils down your stand on how far you will go with freebies offered online.

Kycs otherwise know as 'know your customer' is no longer a new subject in the cryptocurrency sphere. I see no bad deed done by Stellar for requesting KYC before getting their airdrop to curb cheaters. Stellar is a reputable cryptocurrency project and if they want bulk user data, I am sure that they can buy it for cheap. 25usd may be cheap but people have done kyc and given away personal data for far less
25$ isn't worth it of course, but I cannot blame those who are in needs, blockchain airdrop is been very helpful. I knew some people who did KYC and get some money from it and We all knew that we don't have the same status in life, however, I trusted blockchain company, I don't ever think that they will use it in such crime. In my opinion, they require KYC to eliminate abusers of multi accounts.
My answer is "NO" stellar airdroping in some exchange site in past few years and its legit no hastle but personaly doing KYC or giving your privacy inpormation is not good why we need to do that if their want to airdropping to their holder then give it.
Actually i would give my KYC procedure for $25 and i have already send them and waiting for my approval. Do you know why? Because i have already send my KYC to more than 100 times for bounty and airdrops! I've lost control of it. I didn't have to send my KYC to collect any bounty in 2016 and 2017 but last year lots of project made us send our KYC otherwise they were not going to send my bounty coins. Anyway those coins turned shitcoins in %95..
I really don't see it as a scam, I and my friends got the $25 each after a successful kyc... One thing I don't understand is why people fret when it comes to doing kyc.. Blockchain have been known for years and if they work together with xlm to introduce kyc, I think that is a good move though, to avoid people running multiple acc and overcrowd the platform with registration, just for the airdrop. The airdrop is peanut though, but at least I held on to it and cashed it sometime when my 25$ touched 42$.. That's a better interest. Everyone to there opinion... Don't see a big deal doing kyc for 25$.
The funny thing with these airdrop scheme, a lot people of cryptocurreny user try to user identity other people from non cryptocurrency user. They offered some money for around 2-4$ to do KYC to these airdrop.
I thought that the Stellar platform itself is the one who are running this KYC for $25 but it's the blockchain.com a centralized cryptocurrency online wallet who recently enabled XLM on their platform. I tried to claim the airdrop from Blockchain.com though but I chose not to continue anymore because they're requiring a live webcam beside a government issued ID and I think it's so against with privacy rights even though they are legitimate ever since its inception and it seems to me that they are acting like a virtual bank now.
In the past, Stellar was given away so many times on exchanges for who own Bitcoin during period they gave away their Stellar.It seems that what happened with Blockchain recently.
I don't joined it due to worry about they KYC and potential personal data leaks later, but there are some people complained about have not received their Stellar (they have not shown their proof).
So, it is just a drama from those guys, till now.
I am ok with it. I received several airdrops by stellar, because at the beginning you could send fake KYC and it worked. Also some members of my family received it.
I always pass KYC in different ICOs and on exchanges, so I don't think it is risky

Yes I know that blockchain.info has already a name but as I noticed they rejected few of them. My friend both apply kyc on binance and blockchain the result is different. Binance got accepted and verified in 24 hours. Blockchain is checking it in week to months the result is rejected looks like they are avoiding to give the airdrop 
Sounds suspicious, I believe they are just collecting people's identity, anyone got paid from this site? Seems all that reply here know someone or got rejected from that KYC verification when it was accepted on other exchanges. I would say $25 for identity is debatable since many of bounty hunters, airdrop hunters do this for as low as 1 dollar but yes each one have their standards but I suggest stay away from this site
When I first saw the message in my inbox, I decided not to give out my identity for $25. Then problems which that potential $25 could solve currently started appearing on my mind. Sometimes we all do not have the same opportunities or privileges and what we see to be too small for us turns out to be satisfactory for others. Like someone rightly said, $25 is a huge amount of money should it be changed into my local currency.
Blockchain claim they do not hold your or keep your passwords/private keys. Why would they need users kyc,why do they hope to achieve with it? Having KYc of their users will create a breech in the privacy of a lot of persons since they are probably the largest wallet service provider
I have passed the KYC and now have 25 USD worth of stellar tokens. It is awesome and I recommend to do it. It is simply free money and blockchain is one of the most trusted companies in the crypto world.
It isn't read some threads from last years when people lost their money when they put their BTC on blockchain.info wallet. I think such situation could happen with your ID photos when few months later they will be sold on darknet. I'm not telling that it will happen, but it can happen.
Definitely not worth it and I knew of some people that didn't even get the $25 XLM after submitting their details so I just wonders what actually happened. Anyways I can't submit my details for such flimsy amount

my privacy is priceless for me so i will never do airdrop, bounty or even invest in ico, ieo, sto that are going to ask for the kyc procedure
