Projects keep ignoring community feedback during the airdrop distribution phase. The result? It ends with a mocking theme and tone — just like Starknet and zkSync did. Then comes the apology, followed by a PR event to make up for it.

When will this cycle end?

Since Arbitrum, no project has truly valued honest and loyal users. Arbitrum’s only real mistake was not banning multi-account abusers or implementing KYC, which ended up rewarding bad actors once again.

In the blockchain space, it feels like if you're honest and do things the right way, both people and projects treat you like a fool.
