I get where you're coming from—most meme coins or "shitcoins" as you refer to them, don’t bring real innovation and are just hype-driven. But some do help bring mainstream attention to crypto, which can be a good thing. Just think of how much exposure to crypto coins like DOGE or SHIBA brought to crypto from people who have never even heard of cryptocurrency before. Thats at least how I see it.
Investing in shitcoins is just like gambling, the risk of losing your money is very high and many today are afraid to invest in crypto because of the negative experience they have had with some shitcoins which has made them to view all crypto currency as same. The coins you mentioned to me has not brought any exposure to crypto currency but rather dent the image of crypto currency making people to view it as a scam.
