Tap to earn was a good idea initially since you know that anyone that gets a good allocation from the airdrop put in equally a huge amount of work but the problem is that even now, most people's effort aren't being recognized. I have a friend that farmed a token for 2 years only to get the equivalent of an eth gas fee, and it just gets more funny and disheartening from there.
It only feels like one project on a chain will give great allocation to their community and get a great listing price and then the next 20 will just be plain awful. Presently, I'm getting scared since one SOL coin PENGU actually rewarded their users for their active participation resulting in good allocation as well as a decent listing price. At this point I can only imagine what this means for the coming airdops I'm expecting lol. Jokes apart, I really wonder why this happens, let me hear what you guys think.
there has been quite good airdrop happening that it actually not only cover your gas, but also doubles your invesmtent, like fuel, usual and so on.
it depends on your capability to pick the project.
if you stick with tap-to-earn airdrop, well most of the devs of this niche are just grifters and trying to milky the community so hard, you don't expect anything from them.
but if it's from project with actual use case, utility, and working product like usual for example, you'd expect at least something out of your effort.
as the rule of thumb, out of 100 business only 5 maybe succeed, the same thing with airdrop, so many shitty project, but good project also still exist.
