Recently, I made a decision—to temporarily leave the airdrop track. To say I'm not feeling lost would be a lie.
This weekend, I went through a 36-page in-depth institutional research report, hoping to find some direction from the data. The more I read, the clearer it became: the airdrop game has really changed.
I remember those days, grinding through thousands of interaction tasks, trying to dodge platform Sybil checks while also guessing what the project teams wanted. The time investment kept going up, but the return? It kept going down. It's not that there was no profit, but this model just isn't sustainable anymore. The risk/reward ratio has gotten way out of balance.
Now, I'm looking for the next opportunity. I spent the weekend quietly studying industry reports, trying to dig up some clues from on-chain data and institutional perspectives. The market is always changing—you have to keep up with the pace.

Airdrops are definitely getting tougher and tougher, I feel the same way.
Props to you for still being able to sit down and read reports—I’ve already started having fun elsewhere.
The ROI is truly painful here, the days of trading time for money are over.
You’re right, the sybil detection measures get stricter every year, it’s hard for anyone to win now.
Look for the right opportunities, don’t stick to just one track, the market doesn’t wait for anyone.

Woke up pretty quickly—airdrop strategies should’ve been put to rest a long time ago, the cost-effectiveness is really terrible.
So, is there any real substance in that 36-page report? Or is it just the same old clichés again...
Honestly, I don’t believe any on-chain data can save you—the key is still whether the project team wants to give anything out.
You’re right about the imbalance between input and output, but there are still people stubbornly grinding away at it—I really don’t get it.
Have you found the next track yet? Don’t tell me it’s just another round of retail investors getting fleeced.

It’s true, I’ve realized that the whole airdrop thing is becoming more and more useless.
I just can’t keep grinding anymore, seriously—the time cost is insane.
I’m gradually shifting toward on-chain data mining; that’s where the long-term opportunities really are.

This guy hit the nail on the head for me—airdrops have really entered the stage of stock competition now.

Ha, being able to stay calm after reading a 36-page research report—I need to learn that mindset. I would have gotten irritated long ago.

After grinding for so long, I finally see it clearly—airdrops are no longer what they used to be. Working myself to death isn’t even as good as just lying flat.
