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.
Telegram was just a means to an end for those scam projects Devs and the influencers didn't do justice to the situation as they rendered themselves to be used by these projects developers to perpetuate their scamming scheme on participants who got deceived by endorsement of those projects to be projects of potential on airdrops rewards for participants. Instead most of what they airdropped were dust after selling high expectations to the community.
