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.
Many saw it as a route to make quick easy money while doing only but very little work as at the time and that was what led to many of them getting involved in the mining of the coin as at the time when it came around as a trend. most of their expectations weren't met as at the time of lunch and that got a whole lot of them think that its probably a waste of time and so they refused to continue again after the last one they did and got only but a minimal result which for some it amounted to nothing for them so they have decided to not continue the airdrop hunt there after.
