In hindsight people really did InfoFi dirty.
Random five- to six-figure airdrops with transparent leaderboards, you basically knew that if you lock in you can farm good rewards.
Nowadays that's gone and the same people that criticized InfoFi are tweeting about the Ansem coin for a fraction of (not even guaranteed) rewards.
Towards the late stage of InfoFi the platforms fumbled and the projects themselves got worse but the few good drops (Berachain, Anime, most recently Solstice) made it all worth it imo
