The airdrop hustle is real—put in hours of grinding, jumping through hoops, completing tasks, only to find your wallet credited with dust. All that effort, these tiny rewards. It's frustrating when the actual token distribution doesn't match the hype and work invested. Anyone else been there?

After all that, it's just a few sub-coins. I'm really exhausted. This is the reality of Web3.

ngl this hits different when you've already blown more on gas fees trying to claim the airdrop than the tokens are actually worth... spent hours optimizing my migration route to an L2, checked the gas tracker religiously, and still ended up with pocket change. the real reward was the failed txs along the way i guess lmao

I worked on it for two months and was only given a few dollars, I really can't take it anymore.

Regret after selling, holding a bunch of worthless coins if you don't sell—that's the true essence of airdrop, right?

ngl the risk-adjusted returns on airdrops are borderline negative at this point. statistically speaking, you're getting paid in worthless tokens while actually grinding your sanity—reminds me of UST in May, except the tokenomics were theoretically stable then too lmao

Airdrop tricks are too deep. Spending two weeks doing tasks only to receive a few dollars worth of tokens, I'm really speechless. Feels like free labor.
