We still accept airdrops, but we are not obsessed with them anymore. Airdrops are only one more source of income and we don’t pin a lot of expectations on them. This gives us room to enjoy the process without intense focusing on outcomes that most of the time may not be impressive.
Honestly, I'm never obsessed with airdrops. I think it will be not realistic to be obsessed with airdrops. Nowadays, most airdrops just gave us too small reward. There is no way to get a jackpot because there are too many people involved on the airdrops, too. We can't expect the same thing that happened in the past time.
If only... if only we are still at the time where a single airdrop can give you thousands of bucks FOR FREE, I could've spent most of my time doing these repetitive and shitty tasks in exchange of tokens that I can sell in the future. That time was around 2017-2018 BTW.

There's no reason for us investors to be obsessed with airdrops because they aren't a reliable source of income. In fact, I don't consider it as a source of income as well just because it isn't stable, and like what you said, it gives small reward especially for those who aren't investing real money on their project. Nowadays, if you want to get more tokens, you need to put some money, and effort onto the project. This isn't the case 4-5 years ago, but it is what it is.
What I will say though is that if you're into airdrops, always set your expectations to the lowest possible that you can put.
