What about a scenario where a project after requesting for such payment from participants actually airdropped but to just about 15% of their participants out of a 100% that made that TON payment task. Can that still be regarded as some form of scam? since the notion has been that most of these airdrops that request some fee to be paid don't usually fulfill their promise.
They're scammers for not sending the tokens to everyone that participated in the airdrop. Why aren't the projects not stating their criteria before the airdrop gets popular. They wait until they have the gained the popularity before they start introducing some tasks that some participants will be scared to do. People that have money won't be participating in Airdrops as those that are looking for things to do online to make money. Why most people don't pay for Airdrops is because they didn't have the money. The new Airdrops should learn from the successful old Airdrops that pay all their participants and stilll the projects are still alive and didn't die. When there's no bad news about a project, people are always going to want to invest in the project but when they have some questionable behaviours, some investors will want to stay away from the project so they don't get into a project that their founders aren't straightforward.
