I think this ussr seems to be talking about the rewards which is given to early users. They are wondering why the rewards were so small and are comparing it to recent Airdrops like Sui, ARB and Aptos where a significant number of wallets received Airdrops (100k to 1 million wallets) after thorough verification. But SEI project gave Airdrops to around 7 million wallets and each wallet received $2 to $20+ worth of tokens. This is clearly mentioned in their article

They acknowledge that these airdrops attract bots and suggest that if the project had given airdrop to verified wallets then everyone get good profit
