As an Airdrop Hunter, first, let me answer your questions briefly -

Is it building a real community? Yes
Are these people that already join hundreds of other projects really interested in the project? Generally NO. There are exceptions anyhow
Or they would dump it in the nearest opportunity? Yes, with few exceptions
a big number would even unfollow and leave channel after getting the tokens .... Yes

Do airdrops create real communities? or just ephemeral ones? It's short living but serves the purpose.

Let me answer in detail. Generally, airdrops are meant to build a healthy community so as to attract potential big investors during the private sale, preICO & ICO stages. If you are a big investor, will you invest in a project which has only 500 members in their social media community? Definitely NO, because the community backing is very less. However, if you have around 20K+ members then you might think about investing. Because 20k members are actually gonna use the tokens without the usage, the tokens are worth nothing. So the community built is real and of course ephemeral but it serves the purpose of attracting investments. I think once the money has come in, you actually don't need a big community to follow in social media. All you have to worry is about trading volume and real-time usage of the token.

Will we dump it in the nearest opportunity? Yeah, most probably we will look for a way to dump the coins once they get listed in an exchange because we actually don't care and we don't invest a penny into them. But if some news about some project catches our eyes, we might start following the project and may hold the token or even invest in them. Few examples in my experience are Kepler, UBEX and WAB.

Its tough to say.. and hard to really generalize everyone into one group.. I'd say for sure that it isn't building a community but maybe the false skeleton of one which also may be important.. new retail investors do value seeing high twitter followers and telegram users even if most of them are fake (quite frankly they just don't know any better)... its tough to say if it adds any value or not.. on the surface it may not help, but having a very low participation count can probably hurt.

Yes Airdrops can build real communities because followers will contribute to the promotion. Though airdrops themselves are very useful for the initial stage of introduction in a project that serves as an attraction for investors.
And air drops can also be ephemeral ones  communities that are not real because most followers will disappear after they get rewarded.

No.

Of course NOT.

Or they would dumb it in the nearest opportunity ?
a big number would even unfollow and leave channel after getting the tokens ....

Of course dump by first occasion.

Do airdrops create real communities? or just ephemeral ones ?

I think the answer is straightforward: such airdrops create ephemeral communities (if implemented and used badly on big scale because of stupidity or scam attempt).

Is it building a real community?
It helps increase the numbers but a lot of these accounts are bots and from multiple accounts.

Are these people that already join hundreds of other projects really interested in the project ?
A small percentage does. Most are merely interested in the airdrop

Or they would dumb it in the nearest opportunity?
a big number would even unfollow and leave channel after getting the tokens ....

Since a majority are just interested in airdrops, a dump is very likely to happen and many leaving the group is expected

Do airdrops create real communities? or just ephemeral ones ?
It creates real community somehow. Out of 10,000 members, more or less 1,000 will remain interested in the project even after airdrop distribution

I don't think airdrop people ever come back to that group again. It is not real. But companies are showing their telegram members to others to say "look we have lots of users" etc.

I think there can be airdrops to share the token, and have it used (this will make a distributed economy), but joining to telegram groups etc. shouldn't be necessary.

In my own experience it does not create a real community but bunch of people who are just there to spam and request for their token. The only chat they have is airdrop and same thing goes to bounty hunters. They don't care about the progress of the project

Airdrops do not make real communities and it is proven and most of those people the participate in airdrops uses
multiple accounts for cheating, I'm not saying all but "most" of them. Some ICOs promotes their project with airdrop
and one of the conditions is to participate in their main telegram group to make a shill effect and illusion that the
project is supported by a lot of investors but most of the members are bots in especially when the telegram group
reaches thousands of member from 50k and up.

Most of the communities with purely bot accounts do not have any discussions or barely have a discussion on their
group and this is pretty obvious that it creates only fake communities with fake people that use multiple accounts to
cheat on airdrops.

Wayback in 2017 telegram groups rarely reaches 5k members in it and groups of ICOs on telegram normally reaches
1k to 1.5k people "real people". ::)

Usually most of the airdrop participants just want to get a free token. So after getting the token will be sold for the price high and will not be again with the logic and then look for another AirDrop project. Although the community looks a lot but vast, because it is not active after getting a AirDrop.

This is why i am not usually moved by the number of participants or members on the official telegram group group of any project, because from experience, it tend not to add any value to the project, most especially on the long run.

spam site em blocked is great and most trendy Onion Net Marketplace right now. Being this popular it faces the problem of endless Ddos attack leading primary spam site em blocked link to be down, and alternative mirror too. That means that spam site em blocked had to design more and more URLs and tor mirrors and mirror. And the problem is that there are not too much ways costumers can get a right spam site em blockedplace mirrors.
That's why spam site em blockedplace decided to create an official webpage where their users can always discover fresh URLs and onion mirrors, for quick access to spam site em blocked. Here it is httр://spam site emurl.com make sure to use whenever you you have to login to darknet market spam site em blocked.

I think that airdrop can be helping a lot in building a strong and loyal community but there are also many other equally important factors that should be done if one is thinking of a community that can withstand the test of time. One factor is just a portion of it all.

I don't really think airdrops build genuine communities. They are just a way of creating buzz and hype concerning the project in question and will mostly likely serve their purpose. However, once this is done, airdroppers will most certainly move on to the next available project on the menu. Building a genuine community requires patience and will most certainly happen naturally depending on what people see in your project.
