Why do many people miss out on potentially good airdrops?

Here's my opinion...
Many people miss out on potentially good airdrops due to trust issues, requiring 100% certainty, prioritizing VC support, and being deterred by anonymous teams or lack of marketing.

However, it's essential to look beyond these factors and focus on the team's mission, utility of the ecosystem, and the project's whitepaper (if available). 
Most importantly, do your own research (DYOR) and don't judge a project based on hearsay or negative opinions. By adopting a balanced and informed approach, you can increase your chances of discovering valuable airdrops and avoiding potential pitfalls.
