Hello, i was watching for few months now and got that most of airdrop campaigns specially airdrop bots on telegram don't pay participants with tokens. it's a nature that many airdrop bots don't pay or scam participants after getting them promoted through users.
I'm curious why some people prefer to get native tokens from their own projects rather than getting stable coins or top coins as rewards from airdrops. Is it possible because the probability of the tokens is greater? So this can be considered a kind of gambling because not all tokens from airdrops will really be worthy and have a price on the market and with good listings on exchanges, right? Indeed, sometimes the results are very promising when we are able to sell at the right time even though it is only a listing on the DEX, but how many percent can we actually get this?
In my opinion, the probabilities of being scammed, shit tokens, and also not worthy results will be for those who give the rewards on their native tokens, right? This is really like gambling where we are not sure which project will give us worthy values and result actually.
For the ones behind the airdrops the advantages of paying with their own tokens are obvious and considerable, instead of going through the trouble of raising enough stable coins or bitcoin to pay their participants they can pay them with their native tokens of which they have a great percentage on reserve.
But as you mention the real question is why airdrop hunters accept this? Because this is very disadvantageous for them as not only they need to work for months to get the airdrop, they are not sure at all if it will have any value, and now we need to add the risk of not being paid at all, making airdrops even more worthless in my eyes
