As a beginner it is not recommended to invest in new tokens or coins, it is very risky to lose. Instead of investing in new coins, it's better to invest in bitcoin or ethereum, it will be safer, no need to do more research. in the long term it is also very safe, but note that you really have to consider where you enter and where you exit.
I've found a lot of new coins that end up being scammed and abandoned, leaving their investors with nothing to gain, only losses left.
You are right. For newbies, they must stay away from investing in new coins/tokens. It is very difficult to find good new tokens/coins, most of them are just coins with weak fundamentals or made for scamming people. It is too risky for newbies to invest in these types of coins/tokens, they must focus on investing in trusted coins like BTC. If they want to invest in altcoins as well, they must choose top altcoins such as ETH, BNB, ADA, MATIC, SOL, or DOT.
