I completely agree with you that many of the airdrop videos on YouTube are scams and should not be trusted. It is always better to be cautious when it comes to connecting our crypto wallets to external sources.
My recommendation: one of the best ways to ensure the authenticity of an airdrop campaign is to directly contact the project team or join their official telegram group. This way, we can have a direct conversation with the team and find out if they are doing any airdrops or giveaways.
It is important that we remain vigilant and do our due diligence before signing up for any airdrop campaign. By doing so, we can avoid falling prey to scams and losing our valuable tokens.
