I think the image of TG projects has been damaged because the majority of the airdrops they have are just lies and deceptions and scams in the community, there are so many devs in TG who are scammers that's the truth.
The original tap to earn projects have done great introducing this concept, but in this industry where the developers and the scammers follow where the money is, its going to be saturated by bad actors and bad projects
And true enough, it loses the potential of this concept; so many scammers and bad developers have made this their cash cow, so people are leaving, and its only a matter of time before this concept becomes obsolete.
Most developers have made TG projects pay-to-earn which is why i make some findings before diving into any project. Only a few projects have potential right now
