Wow @crypto.piotr What a big problem! Certainly I had never placed myself in the shoes of the long-term investor, personally I could describe myself as a "bounty hunter" in the short term, hoping to sell the tokens I receive as quickly as possible, which I do not always get because in many occasions the main exchanges do not include these new cryptos in their listings to be able to transfer them in a prudential time.
On the other hand, I consider that the Airdrops are an excellent marketing campaign that allows you to make the product known at a relatively low cost, because as you say in your post:
After all: how great is it to build your brand and pay for it with your own tokens, which may have or may not have any value. Quite tempting.
