IMO things like this actually depend on our own views, I personally don't hate these coins because this actually benefits me even though they are indeed coin memes but this maybe the benefits that are obtained only apply to people who can use them properly and that's exactly what very good for me when I was there.
On the other hand, why many people hate this, there are actually several reasons here.
1. They really don't like it
2. They don't like the people behind them because there are a lot of people who think this coin is just a manipulation coin
3. They are trapped in this coin because they buy at a high price
All of your reasons apply to those who don't like coin memes. The worst thing why there are people who hate it so much is that they are trapped with dreams of getting rich with cheap buying prices and hoping to sell high prices.
For me, coin memes will just make a waste (money and time)
And usually those who are trapped are beginners and indeed only follow other people's fomo without realizing they have been trapped there.
For people who are in the early stages it is a good thing but for those who buy at a high price because they are tempted by what others get it is quite terrible.
I personally wouldn't mind too much about things like this when we can take advantage of them so why not. it depends on the momentum we have and know how to get in and out there
