This is how I view EIGEN and why I am actually happy with the airdrop.

The emotional outpourings are somewhat distasteful. I'm not down as a result of my participation and have been saved from pissing away my Eth frivolously. As an enjoyer of new things I'm in agreement.

That's really great to hear. It always makes me a bit sad to see how people rally together to hate on good projects just because they expected a higher allocation of free money. 
Even more disappointing is when people actually even don't notice what the token can do and what the project wants to build.
