I see what you are saying, but it does continue to have a strong community behind Doge.
Also, from what i've read, they have some parties already figuring out ways to put them in the right communities to make it valuable for people.

ie. Tipping app (FB), live mmo game that lets you mine.

there may be more now.. so.. who knows...

it'll never be as high as bitcoin, but it definitely has the potential to be one of the few crypto-currencies left standing after many randos start washing out...
