When will the proliferation of shitcoins in crypto space stop? Who will check mate the proliferation of shitcoins?
I think your path may be quite simple. Study all possible scam projects for which you have the strength. Study the most popular scams that managed to deceive people, study the average scams that managed to declassify in time, but which all just managed to cash in, and study those who were already exposed at first. This will help you get a picture of what is happening and understand what connects all the scam projects to each other.
