How Notcoin's popularity is being taken advantage of

[Cantsay]

This telegram mining is turning to something else , the way they are now demanding for people putting money inside their project is Somehow. Just like one asking for 80k+ to be premium user in their project so people get that kind money come dey farm your project really funny , is like this airdrops of a thing is getting more expensive each day.

Normally airdrops are not suppose to take a single dime from people before distributing rewards to those that are qualified for it, any project I see asking me to get anything even if it will cost me 100 naira so that I will get their token I won’t do it.

And because these airdrop farmers have spent so much time and energy doing daily tasks they won’t want their effort to go to waste they’ll then comply with the project and giving the project their hard earned money.

I'll use the statement; " it's the internet " and everything eventually will fade off in just a matter of time. Telegram has become a sole host to both scam and legit projects however I'm not surprised since the hype of airdrops feeling like free money is still like the quite fresh though it seems to be a little faded because of the partial failure of Hamster Kombat recent launch.

Most scam projects to an extent are quite easy to spot especially when they ask you to make deposits of any sort. I remember when tapswap was pretty much all over the place however for quite a long time now I can't remember when last I saw any hype about tapswap especially ever since they started requesting their farmers to make deposits in some pretty cocky ways.

I guess, all those projects that want users to put money are basically owned by the scammers who found new ways to grab money from people. There was a project on Telegram that promised to give Ton coin to farmers but those farmers could only get airdrop if they pay 1 Ton coin as fee, and unfortunately some of my friends were farming on that bot, and when they asked then I told them not to pay 1 Ton fee as that's pretty high but they said that we have more farmed more than 50 Ton so paying 1 Ton won't be a problem for us. And, they paid that 1 Ton fee but when the airdrop time reached they got nothing from that bot.

I've come to actually understand that in the crypto space and internet at large, the level of your greed actually is a measure of how much you can be scammed. That pretty much means the greedier you are, the higher the chances of you easily falling for scams. This airdrop of a thing has been used to scam a great deal of both greedy people and poorly informed people.

You will find out that some Airdrops will give their users the Idea that they are literally on a winning streak and then they would request that the user deposits done amount tagging it as so so called gas fees and at the end of the day the user ends up sending the coins without recieving the coins he mined. Unfortunately these kind of airdrops don't get the scam tag on their profile on telegram until numerous persons have been scammed and has reported them.

There are so many such apps available on Telegram mini app store and I believe Telegram lets those apps on its platform because those apps somehow promote Telegram premium and that's how Telegram makes money. At the same time some of those apps manipulate users to purchase stars and if I'm not wrong then the purchase of stars also helps Telegram to make money.

Basically, telegram cannot be allowing many mini app run on their platforms without gaining significantly from them. Those stars that most of the projects are integrating are the ways that telegram generate their revenue from those games again. This is the era of the Ton blockchain and with the many transactions going on them from time to time that even caused the crash of it is a sign of how big the blockchain has become.

These Airdrops literally grow accounts and generate revenue and after a prolonged time of accumulating these revenue they end up distributing dusts to their farmers.

Yes, just like what Hamster Kombat and Rocky Rabbit did with the farmers. Rocky Rabbit even took some type of transaction fee from users and made it compulsory for them to get airdrop. Shame on those useless projects that took time of the users/farmers who give those high priority in their lives and in return they got nothing.

It is not getting expensive, but they are out to scam people in disguise of airdrops because at the end of the day, what you will receive might not be up to 10000 Naira. A lot of airdrops will take the generosity of Notcoin and DOG to scam a whole lot of people because everyone will think that the reward from these airdrops is worth it and waste their time on them for free. Stay away from any airdrop that i requesting for funds.

Even the traffic alone is enough for telegram to earn money - remember that telegram runs ads so the more the traffic the more they’ll charge their customers who wants to run ads for their business.

I have seen a few of these airdrops that entice users to purchase premium telegram so that they’ll earn more rewards - Catizen did it, each time you go to the app they’ll ask you to claim the prize you earn while you were offline and if you’re on the normal telegram you’ll get a small reward but if you have telegram premium you’ll get reward that is bigger than those of normal telegram users and those hoping to get better airdrop allocation will go on and purchase telegram premium plan.

I’m using the normal basic telegram and if they decide not to let me do something because I haven’t subscribe to the premium yet I will kindly let go of the airdrop instead of spending my money in any airdrop.

[Mate2237]

From the way I look at it airdrop is a way of making or luring people to follow them on monetized social media page so they can use that means to make money from the media. It is a tactics used by social media influencers to acquire followers.

This is the new strategy by them. And now if you visit the telegram app. Numbers that you didn't register or have registered but delete are still in your telegram taping and playing games to have the $20-$40 for 6 to 10 months.

Yes, I'm also using basic version of Telegram and I don't feel to purchase Telegram premium as that's not needed for what I do on Telegram.

I've totally given up on those Telegram based airdrops as those projects aren't giving good amounts to farmers and for me it's waste of time and nothing else, that's another reason why I'm not going to upgrade my Telegram subscription.

Premium package is just a special package in the telegram mining app for users to earn more, I think the money to purchase a premium user goes to telegram and not owned by the project. They’re just a bridge between you and telegram and their incentives for that is by given you back more rewards in their games.

Projects really do ask for money now in order to have some special benefits. Some projects do give at the end of the day while some don’t. So for anyone farming any of those projects, they should just not expect anything big from them and should have in mind that they may not get anything worth that money in return.

I actually really can't pinpoint how , however I think airdrop projects on telegram benefit more from people using telegram premium it may sound a little weird to some persons especially those that aren't used to farming airdrops on telegram. However if you check, you'll notice that those airdrops on telegram for some reason give bigger bonuses to those use premium.

For some of the airdrops infact, they usually have special bonuses specifically for those that use telegram premium while farming the airdrop. I really don't think they would be doing these for nothing that's why I'm sceptical about it.

I can confirm this one. Telegram premium users tends to get an upper hand in airdrop rewards from the few airdrops I have observed. Even the Not pixel that started few weeks back has a task that is specifically for premium users, and the task gives them a reward. Maybe they are doing it to encourage more premium users, since being a premium users comes with a cost(subscription), and there should be a reward in return for that.

And it seems that there are some airdrop projects that are specifically meant for telegram premium users as well. Like, these project are not even available to the none premium users. Don't really know how they where able to come up with that.

Going by the observations which you have made, it appears that the idea of airdropping benefits to premium users in the Telegram platform is on the increase. This could be considered as a technique employed by the organizers to build on the incentive of offering the users with more advanced services, upon paying for a premium service. For example, airdrops or special tasks offering some privilege can motivate users to subscribe to the service of the application and become premium users. Of course, this is also a good way to incentivize more usage from current customers – after all, ‘free’ is always attractive, and they are getting something from it.

Airdrop projects which are designed for premium users, suggest that there is a particular segment of the population, among all the people interested in the project, with which the organizers of this project, are interested. They might be doing so to provide an exclusivity value where their target audience only know that getting to be part of premium user is more beneficial especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies and airdrops. This may also be aimed at using marketing technique to attract more serious or committed users into their community. But this may lead to a distinction of two types of audiences – premium and non-premium one, which may not get the same shot at the project.

People actually purchase telegram premium for different reasons and the most common one I'm aware of is those that shill coins and tokens or are into pump and dump schemes. Telegram seems to have almost zero restrictions for a lot of things for the premium users. Those who usually message people very far from them in regions sometimes get restricted at some point if they don't make use of premium.

I really don't think that many Airdrops farmers make use of telegram premium mainly or just to farm Airdrops. That's because most of these projects generally take a relatively long time before they launch finally and subscribing for a premium for that alone could end up being uneconomical except you are of course farming them on a large scale.
