I recently participated in some self airdrop howbeit with very little fund as low as $5 each by sending ETH and getting some tokens in turn.
I would later discovered that some deleted their social media accounts and eloped with funds. Some that did not run away made it to the exchange by promising huge airdrop to be voted for their listing. But would later dump and abandon the project thereby dashing investors hope.
I see that these new scam have no real project to execute but to just collect Ethereum and amass BTC at from the exchange.
Have you ever participated in any self-airdrop? I want to hear your view about the outcome.
Aitdrops are simply marketing tactic, I never took part in the airdrop that focued on users to send their money first as whenever I see this it sounds scammy and physhy for me from the first moment I hear about it. It is always risky to take part with airdrops as many ICOs use this as their fuel to keep the community up and running by asking you to sign up to their social channels and groups. Heck even giving them email address could easily result in your email being sold to 3rd party.... Honestly if you want to earn crypto it is much better to LEARN some SKILL and offer a valuble service to others as with this way you become better and thus can earn more. Leave airdrops as they often are not even paying at the end. Once I tried them and half of them paid so I quit, they are not worth my time.
