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?
To be honest, it's hard to say if an airdrop is legit or will it make it big or not.
But we can surely identify the obvious scams as airdrops are meant to distribute coins/tokens for free.
If any airdrop is asking for any payment then it's probably a scam.
Projects which have a good experienced and dedicated team with an unique idea are likely to make it big.
So if you find any such projects giving out airdrops then you get into it.
