my question is actually how can you actually be profitable with airdrops? i personally have not participated in one (yet, i am very interested in doing so) so i have no idea how many tokens are given for free for each address? is it just one or two? if so, how is that profitable when a lot of projects don’t even reach $1 and it will just be luck if it reaches three digits
Yes, it can be very profitable and rewarding, and it can be a waste of time and fees that you can spend to interact with a project's platform and engage in activities within the ecosystem, bridges, swaps, minting, and so on.
There are many types of airdrops. Some you can participate in for free, requiring only that you perform some activities on your social media accounts and popular communication applications. The number of tokens you receive in the end depends on the qualifying percentage allocated for the airdrop [ which you will find in the project's documents], the number of participants, and your activities. If you want to start and learn in this field and embark on the adventure confidently, gain the necessary experience, conduct your research, and become aware of the potential scams. Do not trust any posts promoted on any major platforms.
