Airdrops do have a percentage of being paid less than the bounty. sometimes the bounty payment waits for months, I even have to pay it later in 2023 Q2, therefore 2 months is still normal if you don't get results. keep working, of course someday you will get results. therefore after a long time we work on the airdrop, the tokens will gather and of course the more tokens, the more opportunities for some valuable tokens. If you are lucky, not a few will get a big prize
The patience part is not about the token you might get paid, it is about the plenty of things that you join and only a few would pay well. The usual thing is that you will get paid in tokens right? So even if you get paid in a week or a year, even if it is all in one, or in instalments, that is not the thing that should worry you at all because if it worths something then it will worth something.
There were plenty of friends I had who waited for Avax payments each month to be unlocked, and the longer they waited, the bigger it got and the more money they made. A thing they would have cashed out at 3$ would become 80$ in 7 months, and they made more money just because they were forced to wait. So, it is about the token, not the waiting period that matters.
