What went wrong with Starknet Airdrop Eligibility

I Propose that we all discuss what went wrong with the Starknet airdrop eligibility criteria.

1. Airdrop to CEX (OKX Exchange) addresses instead of users. Per my research, I have realized that all OKX funding addresses for Starknet qualified for the airdrop. You can check this simply by checking your transaction history, picking the funding address from OKX, and checking on the airdrop dashboard. You'd notice that all the wallets got between 850 to 1,800 airdrop allocations. My query is, why would you airdrop to an Exchange who wouldn't be able to claim the tokens? Is it a strategy to burn the tokens? Or it was just a blunt mistake.

2. Airdrop to Bridges (Layerswap, Orbiter) Bridges enabled users to bridge assets from one network to Starknet, getting 1,800 tokens per funding wallet. At this point, I would say it's a huge mistake on the part of Starknet and the third-party project they contracted to help weed out Sybils and prune the multiple accounts from the airdrop eligibility. I call for a review and ask that they separate projects from users. You can give these projects Grants, no need to include them in the User airdrop.

3. The Infamous 0.005 ETH, For this criteria, it's just ridiculous. You don't expect a user who is interacting and using your protocol to have stagnant money in their wallet at every given time. This is the Crypto world, we are always moving money to make more money. Just remove these ridiculous criteria or make it optional

To everyone else, share your grievance below. Thanks

A quick question. What about Starknet node runners? Are they not Devs? if they aren't Devs, why give them Devs role on your Discord server?
I just realized that Starknet left their Community members and did a shady airdrop to who knows who? You gave those who did nothing or little, rewards and left those who ran nodes for months and spent time and money maintaining these nodes nothing.

Let's call a Spade a spade. Starknet did a bad job of recognizing real users and Community. You have to maintain your house and make your wife and kids happy, before going out to make donations at the kids center. Your family can't be hungry, only for you to go out and feed others who have lots of food, and water and didn't ask for your help.
