It is something that bugs me till today. Are they mostly newbies trying to find a path to enter cryptouniverse or experienced people who are just gambling to score a moonshot on luck?



This is the "meme" rank on coinmarketcap, there's millions on deflationary tokens with no effort from the "devs" at all. Just copy/paste a code, copy/paste a whitepaper, eventually pay few bucks for a domain and that's it.
Why people fall for that, yet?

The explanation is very simple.
The vast majority are people who are just starting to invest in cryptocurrencies. They have heard about the success of Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and are looking for their gem (the new Bitcoin) to earn on it like early investors on BTC.
The rest are speculators who invest in the beginning to profit from the initial price pump.
