X post from @beandip, who may know more about airdrops than anyone else in the space.

change my mind:

current one-click mint frames are just airdrops, not value drivers.

their distribution is just another flavor of TVL, not LTV.

and if airdrops don’t “work”, why should we expect one-click mint frames to?

One-click mints and airdrops are just mechanisms.
They are easy, so they've been used in a very lazy and ineffective way.
Doesn't mean that they can't be good mechanisms if used correctly.
Their ease unfortunately adds more noise and less signal. Adding good friction helps boost signal. Algos then can reduce noise.

Good take.  People saying airdrops are bad is like saying “hammers are bad”.  

Tools aren’t bad.  They can be badly used by people, though.

Honestly I don’t think you could be more clear, I was more agreeing with @gabrielayuso.eth that many use airdrops/one-click mints in a lazy way.

“Current one-click mints” are bad, but could argue there is value in seeing who clicked at a certain time (ie who was experimenting w/ frames on FC during 1st weekend)

Another use case: Purple DAO wants a snapshot of active OGs at a certain time, so they create a Frame that issues a SBT to anyone holding the FC OG NFT.

Now OG holders can “opt-in” to declare on-chain that 
a) they are active OGs
b) Purple is a credible authority on this

One-click mint to document non-chain state

i explicitly stated current one-click mints. how can i be more clear in the future?
