When I open Instagram, I see many people promoting projects like Tapswap, Hamster, etc, and assuming that the audience is stupid by promising a great life and a lot of money. But there is a positive point here because regular people are learning a lot about digital currencies. In my opinion, users can only make a few hundred dollars from these bots, which isn't bad, but the reality should be made clear to people. Do you think it's really that easy to get rich with just a few taps?
Earning a few hundred is too huge I think it is way lower. I believe most people who engage in this kind of airdrop will earn less than they expected. First, let us consider the possible value of the token, where it can be listed, and the number of token that will be distributed on the airdrop. I believe it would be lucky if the token were listed on its launch time. Most probably people will end up with worthless tokens after several months of tapping their mobile phone.
It is also possible that some of these projects create this kind of scheme to earn money from different social media like YouTube views since with lots of views and subscribers, it would be easy for them to monetize the channel. And with millions to hundreds of millions of views from the people aiming for an airdrop, these channels will earn huge amounts of money. I hope the revenue from these channels will be used to support the token's market but I have less faith that it will happen.
