don't rely on gift tokens because that will only bore you and not to mention you have to wait for them to be listed on the exchange or at least until they have a sale price to make up for your hard work.
I suggest balancing your time with other things you can do in this market and I think there are many ways to make a profit besides a prize campaign. I say this because I also feel bored with them and what I produce from gift tokens does not produce sweet fruit.
at this time I balance with trading, how about you?
obviously you cannot rely on airdrops mainly for the reason that you have mentioned but also there are so many other activities to do like bounties, tradings, and learning a new skill. Aside from crypto-related activities try to explore online part-time jobs as well.
