Stellar seemed to me as a nice project with a good future. But now I saw that ridiculous airdrop with video KYC

For me it discredits the project and from side seems funny.
what is your opinion?
I saw that Steller was distributing the airdrop coins, and it cost $ 25, but I didnt know that I needed to go through a KYC video. I am sure that few people will want to undergo this procedure.
