I've said it before, it is becoming a grind signing up to airdrops, especially when sop many of them are scams - it's hard to work out the good from the bad.

I also find it is very false, Projects are effectively paying you to promote their product and there are so many falsehoods "great project" etc and this is all across social media; you're average joe just sees this praiseworthy reviews and invests thinking they have backed a winner.  I am not sure what the answer is, but things will have to change otherwise crypto will always be seen as the wold west!
