Airdrops have become pointless, airdrops of crypto projects have become saturated over time and participants get a few pieces of worthless tokens
Yeah, many airdrops are useless to join. But you cannot judge all airdrops are bad. If you can choose the right airdrops, sometimes it really gives you proper money. But make sure that you are following trustable airdrops. Don't join airdrops from an untrusted project, you probably get nothing there. Only join the airdrops if they are provided by trustable projects.
and from my personal experience, don't trust Telegram groups that share airdrops, as most of them are fake, and people are just promoting their scams, some of them even share a legit airdrop but they make their own Telegram bot and then use your own data to submit on that airdrop, like if you need to follow that project in twitter and join their telegram groups and you then have to send your username, they're gonna use that and submit their own address in the legit airdrop bot.
