Referring to Scambrain explosion allegation in the HBO movie, I find shitcoins useful in a sense that you can sybil shitcoin networks and get an airdrop, and then swap the shitcoins for BTC.
If you can do it, without any prepaid cost, it's good. You can do it with retroactive airdrop, do some tasks with testnets that are free, no cost, and get shitcoins. When you receive shitcoin distributions, you can convert them to Bitcoin. Sell them and buy bitcoin or swap them to bitcoin through cross chain bridges if possible.
The risk is you need to use a device for interactions with shitcoin's websites and smart contracts. Make sure you don't store any of your Bitcoin wallet on that device because if you do interactions with shitcoin projects, and let your device with Bitcoin wallet compromised, it's terrible practice.
