as a newbie I don't suggest you join in any ICO because even some good ICOs turn out bad after listing like sushiswap , Only very geek and professional guys could tell that, You can follow some of them on twitter , I am following @mandyb on twitter and he is not bad.
I think this advise to OP is wrong because thousands of newborn investors have made some good investment during the ICOs days, personally, during those days of ICOs I was new to cryptocurrency industry and I did made some investment which actually generated me some good profits on a long-term. But 3% of my projects chosen to make investment with gave me what I wanted from inception and would equally advise others to invest in good projects for a good return in the future.
