Who don't want free money? If you need to spend some time for a project and they give you money though their token, then why not hunting airdrop? Although there are manu reason, People start disliking airdrop. As new airdrops are valueless most of the time and valuable airdrops have hard process to quality user! I means there are many step you need to overcome and then team will eligible you for their airdrops and sometime People get nothing even after doing a lot for that project. But i love to hunt if with all possible step
some people favour airdrop because they certainly just want the free money despite the fact that 9 out of 10 it will be complete useless shitcoin that belongs in trash.
the reason being, there has been history of massive airdrops like aptos, arbitrum and so on making people having dream of participating into such project airdrops and not missing out any opportunity to get that airdrops ever again, but we all know such project that could give massive airdrops was rather rare. so I don't think many will be successful in participating.
not to mention the fact that currently nowadays there are too much airdrop participants that it become irrelevant.
