Re: How do you make sure an airdrop is a legit one?

In recent months, I saw a lot of new airdrops, mostly on Telegram platform. A lot of them are harmless "tap to mine" games which can be trusted (in my personal opinion). Some of them were basically giving away tokens based on your accounts age (like Dogs).
I know when these airdrops are around, they make a hype. One of my friends sent me 15 invite links the other day (and honestly, I still haven't clicked on the links) and most of them are basically these mini games. But I also saw some airdrops asking people to pay them little amounts of TON or Tron, in order to put them in a better place in a leaderboard. It seems somehow suspicious. I just want to know what is the measure of a good airdrop? One of my bitcoiner friends once told me "consider every airdrop a scam until they're not". But I strongly believe that there must be some good measures for this issue as well.
What do you think?
Don't pay anything for the airdrops. If they are asking for payment (even to put you in a better position), then most likely it is a scam. They already make you do task, make you watch videos in youtube, click on links and what not. They are already earning a lot from the thousands of players. And the last move they do to milk as much as they can is to ask for some "extra funds". People that were late to join the game might feel like they're missing out and pay to improve their standing with the hope of receiving more tokens, but they often end up with tokens worth less than what they spent. That's how some developers manipulate unsuspecting users. Remember, airdrops are supposed to be free.
