I believe that there will be nothing worthy from the free giveaways. In 2017-18, you could make very good money now, but a few dollars is not even worth the time spent.
For now, Airdrops are only used by some people in terms of looking for gas costs or in terms of taking advantage of their free time when their main work is finished, so basically it won't hurt time as long as it's still paid on time, moreover the Airdrop doesn't have to wait long for payment.
yes, you are right that airdrops have not yet produced more value, I don't know until when that airdrops can also be as profitable as bounties. but maybe should try to still be able to do job updates from the airdrop itself. so it's not just doing it once but there can still be additional work that can be done periodically or can be done again, such as retweeting or tweeting and tagging followers to provide information about the airdrop itself. maybe it will be able to make the airdrop more just an addition.
the problem here is about people's thinking too much about airdrops.
when talking about actual airdrops, we certainly certainly know that it is the same as who gets it first.
because usually the aridrop like this for the reward is limited, and those who follow the airdrop are usually more than the target number of winners, so the ratio is 1:100 the smallest.
and when this is stated, the most important thing is that we have to do it according to the instructions in each of the airdrop rules because this is a must so that we are at least included in the list of winners.
but most people expect too much to win it and do it only halfway and maybe there are still many people who don't fully complete the rules in the airdrop.
so it might actually come back to each other when working on airdrops, whether we have completed the rules well or not because many airdrops also have a time period and have special stages.
