I am against free airdrops. People get free coins and sell them mostly. Then it does not help the project other than a brief publicity. Better way to achieve that is to offer bounties for promotional tasks, like signature campaign, sharing on social media e.g. tweet and retweets, facebook post, reviews, youtube videos etc. This 'proof of work' also creates some value, and the bounty owners do not usually sell cheap.
Agree. There are no needs in airdrops.
