I think the ones who will slowly back down are people who are new to crypto, where they feel cheated by the initial calculations and the results are not appropriate, if they are a real airdrop and already have a large community, they will not give up because they will lose the community that has been built
Yes
Newbies are always the ones with very high hops and expectations when it comes to airdrops and bounties. People who have been around for quite some time now would have already gotten used to the trend and worked on their expectations. Airdrop tokens are like gambling, the outcome is never certain, so it’ll be wrong to have high expectations or feel somewhat level of entitlement when the success of the project isn’t even guaranteed.
Absolutely well spoken bud, I currently have a friend, a very close one whom I introduced crypto to of recent, and at the moment, he's yet to raise any money to invest in crypto, and instead of leaving him idle doing nothing, I decided to introduce telegram airdrop to him, he's been playing alot of Telegram games ans since he started, only one has he made around $50 from, and that is DOGS.
He played alot others like PIXFI, Hamster kombat, Avacoin and a host of others that ended up supposedly disappointing their communities, I remember seeing the disappointment on his face when PIXFI launched and he got nothing even after putting so much effort on the game, same thing with hamster kombat and Avacoin, but my advice to him always have been this same thing you said here; to treat this games like he's gambling and never to expect anything from it, and even if he has too, atleast to serve a motivation for him to keep playing, he should keep his expectations very low at a point that he doesn't end up very disappointed just incase things didn't end the way he had envisioned.
Making money from airdrops is no longer as easy as it used to be, today's airdrop is more like a means for the developers of the project to raise fund for their products, and when this fails, it's hard for such airdrop to even pay their participants.
