I guess it is safe to say or assume that majority of new users and 1 year old accounts in this forum are here for airdrops and bounties.
I admit that I also created an account here because it was required back then to have a bitcointalk account to qualify for airdrops.
Then I became an active participant in signature campaigns and did a lot of posts just to comply with the minimum requirement to receive stakes. Recently, I became somewhat bored just commenting on topics mostly on Altcoin Discussion Board since a lot of them were just repetitions of previous threads. So I started to check out other boards and spent more time reading on different topics and really enjoyed the discussions.
It's a bit late for me so my message to all beginners is to learn to enjoy in this forum because you can find a lot of valuable content here.
There is more to this than ICOS and bounty campaigns.
