Honestly giving out your documents via KYC for 25$ XLM doesn't worth it. But it's not compulsory you must do the airdrop, it's optional. So if anyone cares more about his or her privacy, then he or she is not supposed to do the airdrop.
Certain things are not for everyone, a lot of persons from the third world county will jump at it, $25 afford a decent meal and to someone whose disclosing of his identity does mean much to would not mind participating in such. Besides, there are a lot of Airdrops and bounties that require such details even though it is not certain they will pay and a lot of persons still join them. Different strokes for different folks
i still dont understand, i did get my XLM worth 25$ before but all i gave was my email.
I created a blockchain.com wallet and registered my email there, it took almost a month and i received the tokens with out doing any KYC.

If someone has already passed through the KYC cryptocurrency, it is a great opportunity to pass KYC again and get free 25$ in XML
Yes, it may not be worth it to you. But for some countries with low per capita income, many people will be willing to do so. Blockchain just wants to implement this airdrop program to increase the number of users using their service, $ 25 is just an extra bonus when you register.
even the airdrop ever done by the blockchain is airdrop with definite results. even though the process is quite long, but amazingly, the number of XLM that is distributed is very large and it lasts very long. many people have got results from this. there is no harm in following it, rather than following the airdrop of the new project with the payment of tokens that may not necessarily be used as money.
KYC is needed to help companies that run give aways to eliminate abusers on their give aways. However, there is no guarentee that those companies won't leak identities of participants someday later. Hence, I think that it is better to avoid such give aways if people don't lack of money. There are so many different things to get money, not only give aways with KYC requirements.
Are they still doing this at the moment? So its free $25?
Now i wonder something else. What if you asked other friends and other ppl you know to help you out on this. Let say they don't mind. That way they all get $25 a person. Of course giving your privacy is not good.

Definitely not. Ask yourself, are you worth $25? If not don't take it 
On a serious note mate, $25 XML does not worth my privacy and my privacy is my life to me. I have abandoned some pretty good money on exchanges and gambling platform's all because of KYC requirements, which where not requested before the start of these platform's. When they have your privacy, they take your data and make money it at your expenses. Never underestimate the power of the IOT which van make anybody stupid.
who would not say, by doing so, more and more people are learning about bitcoin and starting to use it.and to pass Kyc or not, it's everyone's business. audience reach is important to me. why they need data is another matter.?
people who participated in that drop - just lmao.
It is like, somebody will come up to you on the street and says "hey buddy, sell me your docs for 25$ bitcoin equivalent" and instead of kick that man off you say, "well, okay".
Pretty funny.

It wortgs, when you would like to buy or trade cryptocurrencies on centralized exchanges you have to pass KYC also, but for free, so why not to use this offer and turn it to your advantage?
really not worth it because there is a possibility our data can be spread if their platform is hacked, and for xlm I try to follow it, but use other people's data (my friend) and it turns out their platform at that time had an error, so the data that has been registered can be used by other users and I think it's strange, some people use this airdrop by borrowing data from people they know and getting thousands of dollars easily even though the process is a little long.
I think this is a more difficult question if you are participating in a bounty. I just saw a video on YouTube as people are merging data from thousands of gigabytes of projects from your photos and videos. We all know that it is not safe. In addition to personal information, there are many schemes that use fraudsters. Now every second project requires KYC, however 90% does not enter the market. Do you think your passport or ID card is online? Of course have. And that scares me the most.
Although this is indeed a debate but the fact is that people are very interested in participating in this event and they are not concerned with their personal data which may also be misused
That will be back to their decision. We have no right to blame them all because they have been doing it on their own risk. But again to waste our personal identity for some dollars is not worth. But that's the easiest way for them to get free stellar from the blockchain.
$25 for having such information is the worst of bargain. I was really surprised when i saw most people doing it. I would never perform KYC for such a low amount of money. There are sometimes situations that require to you to perform Kyc but in this airdrop i think it's not worth it at all.
It is difficult thing to discuss and come to general conclusion. For people whom live in third world nations, they sometimes should do it for their lives and their families. For people whom have higher life quality, they should not do KYCs and disclose their identities. it's better for them to do this for their future security. 
For some peoples, their identity or privacy is not the top priority to protect, thus $25 is worth for that.
But for some peoples who have a great position in some company, or popular peoples, they won't give their identity details no matter what.
I think every peoples have different point of view about the value or their identity.

Yeah, we constantly go through this procedure for much less money. According to the extreme measure here we can be sure that our data is under reliable protection.
Come to think about it, those projects or companies who aren't interested or might not be interested in your private information won't offer you reward for providing them though KYC but when a reward is offer that means there's every possibility of them profiting from the information they'll be obtaining from participants of the KYC especially when it has to do with big companies like Blockchain.com
Has anyone received the airdrop? Haven't heard much about the airdrop after I wrote this post. Was the airdrop withdrawable?.
I have not seen anyone claiming to have gotten the aidrop, maybe it is just a trick from blockchain.com to have its hand on user privacy informations.
