How many of us can remember when everyone was tapping on their phone continuously Just to make money,
It was a trend that many people got involved in because of the hype that was around it then. Many of the people who were involved in this airdrops then hunting and chasing them tirelessly have now quit or abandoned it simply because they did not benefit as much as they expected from the airdrops. The people who from these airdrops became introduced to investing in cryptocurrency and developed an interest in it are fewer considering that most of the people who were involved in the airdrops were simply more interested in making profits than gaining knowledge.
The trend was insane on social media especially tapswap, every social media platform you log into people were showing how they were tapping on their phones tirelessly, Nigerians are really good at overhyping. It turns out now that these airdrops are just a waste of time and people are now beginning interest. The percentage of those who got actively involved in crypto currency from participating in airdrops are quite lower than those that abandoned it. Just like you said, people who were just interested in Farming airdrops were just after how to make money they didn't for the knowledge.
