In this regard, LooksRare recently had offered free airdrops to OpenSea users. The free airdrop was only eligible for those users who have transacted in at least 3 Ethereum worth of NFTs on OpenSea. While such a ploy can help LooksRare to grab attention, but it will still have to fight it out in the NFT marketplace to gain prominence.
