Oh, Airdrops Are the Problem Again? A farmer calling another person a farmer because he farms differently I read the whole explanation, and honestly, the more I read, the more brain cells I lost. “Airdrop farmers are the problem”? Really? This is coming from people who are on multiple leaderboards themselves. If you’re not a farmer, why are you prostituting on different leaderboards, @icobeast? Airdrops are not the problem. Incompetent teams are. Let’s stop whitewashing this. The statistics @NDIDI_GRAM shared a few days ago say it all: a majority of those tokens are down horrendously and some of them didn’t even conduct an airdrop. MegaETH did a presale, yes they did. But do you really expect 1,000 people to leave bad reviews about @ethos_network when their money is still locked in the presale? It’s wild MegaETH didn’t even hit 100k TPs during its testnet phase. Are we going to hide behind the “shiny new tech” narrative, or admit that MegaETH might end up like its sister, $MON? WHY DOES @ethos_network REVIEW MATTER EVEN ? IS IT STOPPING THE FRAUD IN THE TOKENOMICS ? NO, SO IN MY OPINION THE ETHOS REVIEWING MECHANISM IS IRRELEVANT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS Sorry for going off-topic but let’s dissect this self-inflicted disease they’ve dropped on us. “Airdrop Farmers Are a Bad Base for Building a Real Community”? Before we even proceed, let’s define what a community is: A community is a group of people who share a common interest, goal, or identity and who actively connect, support, and build with one another around that shared purpose. Now let’s be honest communities today are built around rewards, because VCs want to see that Crypto Twitter is interested in a project’s testnet. Let’s not lie about it. Teams spend 1–2 years running painful campaigns sometimes it’s a 2-year testnet, sometimes a 3-year mainnet filled with endless swaps, liquidity adds, and engagement farming. All this while there’s no real money-making opportunity on-chain. This is exactly why Base and Arbitrum stand out.*( before Tge , money making opportunities were available) If you were on the other side of the screen, wouldn’t you be frustrated too? It’s human nature when the energy and money you put in don’t yield proper returns, frustration kicks in. Farmers are at the bottom of the food chain so why blame them for your misfortune? If your tech is truly the most egalitarian thing on earth, it will attract a community naturally. But the new-age founder launches a mainnet, cashes out, and calls it a day. So what really attracts people to your project? 1 ) Value 2) Incentives the ICO you glorify has flaws, remember this: You’re not buying it at the same price the VCs did. You’re probably buying it 10x–20x higher, which makes you their exit liquidity. In Conclusion: Real community or fake community it doesn’t stop a token from going to zero. It doesn’t stop it from doing -90%. This whole “farmers are the problem” narrative is just gaslighting. They’re shifting blame away from the real issue poor tokenomics, bad leadership, and broken distribution and turning it into a moral argument , ( only the team has foundation allocation, team allocation and the ecosystem allocation , what a fraud) People are being called “toxic” just for being upset about bad airdrops, while the teams behind the mess are out there living comfortably in Monaco. Whether it’s ICO or airdrop, the truth remains the same: IF YOUR FUNDAMENTALS ARE WEAK THE TOKENS ARE GOING TO ZERO.

airdrops changed yeah teams became greedy, what do you mean conducting a 1% airdrop?
