Most airdrops are junk and worthless. This is not a new strategy
It is really the fact that many of those are worthless and totally the waste of time if you become part of all the airdrops. Choose only few based on your idea and researching which can be real and will be still existing after 1 years of time. So be wise and chose the right.
On my opinion, I would say yes but not totally. Each of us have different perceptions as we adjust the situation here in the world of crypto currency. I believe that it will recover soon though we don't have any idea when since the market is in chaos. Hopefully in the future that each and everyone of us will have a great profit as we try our luck here.
