[6] Don't hop on a project without proper research - Before you dedicate all your time and resource into gathering points for a project ensure to do in-depth research on the project. Research their founders, partners and everything you can get on them. Ensure to ask people that have been into airdrop long before you before starting. Don't just click on any link, ask questions.

Good advice, and honestly, I emphasize the importance of this tip because the field of airdrops contains a high percentage of scams, phishing links, and fake websites. Therefore, in addition to conducting research to avoid falling into a scam project, every airdrop hunter should use an alternative wallet instead of using his primary wallet, which contains his assets and investments. Connecting the primary wallet to any site without ensuring its legitimacy can lead to the draining of the hunter's wallet. Additionally, adding the most popular security browser extensions, such as Pocket Universe, AegisWeb3, and Wallet Guard, can help reduce the risk in the field of airdrops.
[2] Don't lean solely on the money coming from an airdrop - It's understandable that some people are hoping on airdrop money because the economy is tough. But to avoid hurting your mental health it's better to get a paying job that has consistent pay no matter how little and consider airdrop as a passive source of income.
I completely agree with this. Airdrop profits depend on luck, and the amount of profit can vary from person to person. There are no guarantees that the airdrop will be profitable or just a few dollars in the end, or whether they will pay out or not. Therefore, anyone participating should have a secure job and not rely solely on airdrop profits.
