I thought we’ve already weeded out this nonsense… anyone who heard about the airdrop and is complaining simply wants free money. These are not people who want 400 UNI so that they can be part of governing the system, if you didn’t get an airdrop that means you probably didn’t hear about Uniswap until after the announcement.
If you do in fact desire to take part in governing the system, right now is an excellent time to pick up tokens at a discounted price on secondary exchanges. You can even buy them through Uniswap!
I have been accumulating ~100 UNI daily, and will allocate whatever it takes or delegate myself a proposal to prevent the snapshot from being extended. All of us, right now, are currently missing opportunities that we don’t even know about. That doesn’t entitle us to rewards once we hear about them.
I have seen so many threads on this, and heard pretty much every excuse as to why it should be extended, and none of them have a net benefit for the system. All arguments boil down to entitled people who are envious that other people got something they want. This is the behavior of toddlers, and toddlers won’t provide good decision-making going forward.
After gas fees, failed transactions, and other slow Ether drain since Uniswap started, the airdrop was basically a reimbursement for many long time users.
