Bounty hunting seems dead in Bitcointalk. Are there members still making money via airdrops?
A few years ago airdrop pay to the hunter much but gradually that trend decreasing. Although we know of some airdrops that have rewarded hunters but the number is certainly not high. While some airdrops pay, most airdrops waste hunters' time. Telegram-based airdrops have emerged recently, but not all will pay hunters. Not Coin rewarded its hunters and more projects are arrived. There is no way to say that all of them are legit projects. Scammers are always active in these areas. Therefore, before joining any new airdrop, one should take a decision by observing these issues. Airdrops and bounties had a huge impact a few years back but now they are going to be worthless.
I agree that airdrops have become more demanding so to speak, but there is still an opportunity to come, it's just the fact that the person should invest more time and effort into both the info behind the project as well as its activities to gain something out of it. And let's not forget, people who are serious about drops (with farms or a swarm of referrals aboard) are still going to profit, the game didn't change for them.
