Do exchanges really give airdrops?

One unique feature of the crypto industry is its truly decentralized nature which offers equal opportunities to every enthusiast. This is the only industry in which you can grow from zero to hero if you are dedicated, determined, and consistent. This feature is the leading factor in the adoption rate recently seen in this industry. Different creative ideas from different chains have made this happen. Currently, TON has become the hub for crypto adoption due to the hike in airdrop projects. The introduction of Tap-to-earn was the pivotal turning point that has set Durov on track to achieve his dream of decentralization.

Many traders are cut between joining the airdrop hunters and focusing on taking risks. Imagine someone making over $2k by just tapping his phone while investing only his time. Don’t forget a lots of individuals are earning huge from different airdrops opportunities in the space. So recently I saw some airdrop events on some exchanges, mostly in the form of tasks to earn. Where users are mandated to perform certain task and win some reward such as $ETH etc and I begin to wonder do users win this?

I have a friend who has tried so many exchange events but still got nothing except for one wallet token he accumulated points and later converted it to the token when it was launched. I am curious to know if you have earn anything from exchanges airdrop events and was it something tangible compare to others.
