The early participants that involved themselves in airdrops and bounty made huge amounts of money from so many airdrops but what we are seeing these days is the opposite of what participants supposed to be getting from crypto airdrops.
Many projects that are launching Airdrops now are very greedy and they don't even want to reward their community in a way that everybody would benefit after so many tasks given to them to accomplish in the limited shortest time.
Those behind the airdrop projects of this days have being taking advantage of the participants of their projects who go into it with the belief of the good old days that airdrop projects were devs were genuine and had the community in the context of the project. Greedy is an understatement to the projects that are launched this days , especially all of those time particularly late last year and early part of this year all the telegram tap-tap airdrop projects rather took from their participants instead of airdropping what they have spent time and money on in carrying out those ridiculous tasks.
Last year, I only blamed telegram miniapps when they scammed users but it's now very clear that all these projects are taking advantage of users. These days, to even find a testnet airdrop that would worth the time and resources put into it is a luck. Influencers are those majorly rewarded from these projects, in order for them to onboard new participants.
