Airdrops really aren't profitable anymore. The returns keep getting lower each time, and for some projects, you can't even make back the gas fees after working at it for hours. But if you look at the on-chain data, the number of participating wallet addresses is actually increasing. What's the deal here? Are people still hoping to get rich overnight, or do they just not want to miss the chance in case a project takes off? The FOMO in Web3 is honestly a bit crazy.

To be honest, airdrop farming now is just like buying a lottery ticket—just a way to comfort myself. --- The gas fees eat up everything, what kind of profit can you really expect? It's all just a gamble. --- The more you lose, the more addicted you get—that's the common pitfall for Web3 people. --- Why are people still rushing in? Simply because they're afraid of missing out—a typical gambler's mentality. --- On-chain addresses are skyrocketing but profits are declining; the logic is pretty ironic, isn't it? --- But then again, what if you actually hit the next Blur? Who would want to miss out? --- FOMO can kill you—knowing you'll lose but still playing, that's just too real.

Losing gas fees while farming airdrops—isn't that standard practice? Haha

Airdrop farming is becoming more and more like gambling, but you just can't afford not to participate. It's truly something else.

To be honest, this is just a gambler's mentality. If they don't make money in one round, they keep thinking they'll make it back in the next. They're still farming even when the gas fees can't be recouped—it's amazing how they can fool themselves. It's less about FOMO and more like a collective illusion. After all, it's not like they have anything better to do. Every day they see screenshots of others getting rich, so even if they're losing money, they still want to participate—just in case they really hit it big. Have you ever done the math? The time spent on airdrop farming in a month would be better spent working a regular job. I'm already tired of seeing it. Nowadays, most airdrops are just projects using the same old tricks to fleece retail investors, and the participants don't even realize it. What I don't get is, why do more people join the more they lose? What does that say about the situation?
