I think everyone will do anything to get income. Airdrops are a way to earn money easily and without any risk at all. Who doesn't want to get money for free. I think the airdrops hosted by exchanges require them to transact a few dollars to get started. And that doesn't stoping people from jumping in, especially if it's free.
I do agree with your opinion. Trading is not a too difficult profession at all but it happens wrong when you do not make the right decisions following market trends. I think it does not matter whether you start as a newbie or as a professional. It just requires your existence that is why n when you push yourself to be a part of that. On the other hand, based on the new project launches, anyone can participate in the airdrop opportunities to gain some rewards. it depends upon the person how to secure their assets while performing the trading clicks.
