Airdrops are tasks that cannot be certain to get the best out of them now. They are tasks you just participate in and then wait to see what will come of them without hoping for anything in return. This is not even about the gas fees you’ll need to be eligible for some of them, the truth is that airdrops are not paying like they use to in the past, there are bunch of them that are going to just be worthless and waste of time. Since you don’t know the ones that will pay, if you know you can spare your time and energy into doing them, then there’s no harm in trying them out, they’ll just be worth it in the end or not and you have to just live with the reality of it.
Basically you are hoping that project does well, if you are right and what you hoped happens then you are going to make a lot of money from the airdrop you worked on. But, if you are wrong then you are going to end up with a loss and you will not be making any money at all.
This is why nobody really guarantees anything about the market at all, airdrops are unknowns and you shouldn't really be guessing anything growing further, we need to focus on how to get better results with time as well. Just lose your hopes about what you can be doing with crypto and you will get better results eventually as well. Life isn't always that simple, just working for airdrops can't make you that much richer and it's a very tough thing.
