i have seen the word airdrop here in the forum many times but recently i encountered a social media post on a major platform advertising airdrops as a profitable opportunity i realized many people now are recommending crypto related things even in mainstream platforms

anyway my question is actually how can you actually be profitable with airdrops? i personally have not participated in one (yet, i am very interested in doing so) so i have no idea how many tokens are given for free for each address? is it just one or two? if so, how is that profitable when a lot of projects don’t even reach $1 and it will just be luck if it reaches three digits

i got curious because in that post i saw, many said that you can earn two to three digits (in us dollars) with airdrops so how are you profitable if you have 5 tokens from airdrops and its ath reaches just about a dollar?

Airdrop has been buzzing lately and for some of us who haven't been involved in it before now, some of the tasks we're required to perform are new to us and we just flow along with what people are doing without knowing the potential danger that is associated with doing some of that task. Specifically, a particular airdrop, "Blum" displayed and posted on her telegram story that it had been hacked, and then the option to continue tapping remained intact while the gaming pattern changed. Plus sometimes you're just required to visit their site without knowing what it means.

So I'm wondering, is it possible that your device could be hacked into while visiting some of the sites you are made to visit while performing some of the airdrop tasks? 

Is there a possible strategy some hackers and fraudulent people can use in harming those that are involved in the tapping thing so that if we know it we can avoid them?

Share your experience and safety tips that will help me and other new people who aren't exposed to the airdrop thing.
