That's right and for long time airdrop hunters I think they really feel this way,
projects that are really promising are not as much as they used to be,
hope that in the future the allocation given can increase
The airdrop is only used at certain moments and the project developer also doesn't carelessly make it, even if someone carelessly makes it, it's just a trash token that has no value, so it's not always worth hunting down.
Almost all airdrops are from trash and it will never be from something decent. There are only a few that does it, but the reality is that we are not talking about something that is purely decent here, we are talking about something that is very risky and not worth it.
Airdrops themselves causes the price to drop as soon as the project is released, if you give people so many tokens for basically doing stuff and not spending money, they will sell those tokens as soon as it is listed at an exchange or a swap, which will drop the price on the very first day. That is going to result with people not really doing anything special and that is the problem.
Focus on doing something you can buy and invest and not freely distributed to everyone. That is how you could make money and that is how you can profit from it. Otherwise there is really no logic at all to try to get free stuff because free stuff will worth "free" as well.
