Just participated the airdrop campaign! Yes, an Airdrop is a must for a ico! But at the end I saw a link to the bounty campaign... Wondering why aren't they using another separated bitcointalk bounty thread for the bounty campaign!
An airdrop is helpful but it is not necessarily a must for ICOs, it helps create awareness but does not necessarily brings in investors. I think the bounty is a better option though. Just my personal opinion
You're right, i never liked the airdrop thing nor bounties but i think the later is much more better because it has some sort of task attached to it that will help spread the word about the brand and not just the former that's like a freebie with nothing attached and a perfect guarantee for dumpers to do what they know best and mess up the project
