I took part in a lot of different airdrops, but for me it didn’t have any negative effects, except for spam mailings conducted by other groups, and they always tracked those people who participated and immediately wrote many messages to invite me to another airdrop, but not it is worth responding to such offers because in most cases it can be a scam due to the fact that other users do not want to share the winnings and would not like to increase the number of participants on their own
