The above topic was birthed by
this post claiming TapSwap was a scam which I refuted a while ago as nothing monetary was mandated whatsoever. But today, I point out a real scam if at all one should be called out in this manner, and that is the Xempire airdrop structured plan to allocate the airdrop.
I've always known airdrops to be free giveaways, but not in this case anymore and the two pictures below speak enough volumes already. This nonsense is no more worth it.

Imagine, after many tasks were done over time without knowing, suddenly when the effort is about to bear fruit the project is requesting for more, perhaps something many people will not be able to afford/sacrifice. What a waste of time! Xempire mandates you to make a TON transaction before you are eligible to airdrop and when I tried to check where the gross approach was heading, I discovered you have to part ways with a whole 0.5 TON, who does that? For what you are not even sure of the price or receive something up to the 0.5 TON's worth? This is pathetic.
Most people don't realize this. They think it is only like 0.5 TON or like $5, but imagine hundreds and thousands of people are paying that $5 and giving free money to those developers who is actually scamming people. People don't even know how much they are going to receive from those airdrops and most of them don't receive anywhere near what they have sent as a fees. Those tap to play games are milking people till the end. An airdrop like you said should be free. No one should be spending any money for those airdrops. They are already doing tasks that are generating revenues for the developers.
