It's worth a shot. I participate in contests and tournaments to get airdrop, it's a good opportunity to be the first to list a new coin or make extra profit. I participated in Fairspin's airdrop and was able to increase my deposit quite well. Not much, but it's nice since my actions were minimal
Oh, I heard about fairspin, they have a good apy. I feel the same way as you do about airdrop, basically it is an opportunity to get initial capital for further investment in promising coins
I'm okay with airdrops where you don't actually release money, but all you have to do is follow the criteria or tasks to become a participant. Most of the time, the others will use the free testnet, like in the Berachain example. I just don't know if the use of the testnet is over now.
And there are others where you will use their platform protocol, and of course you will deposit even a small amount so that you can use their platform. You should at least conduct trading activity on their protocol, but it is still tentative if there will actually be airdrops.
