There were a lot of crappy altcoins before 2014. Definitely not all were innovative. It's just they all died so nobody remembers them anymore. It's kind of like how a lot of people think 70's/80's/90's music is the best but they fail to remember that there were alot of really bad songs from those decades as well.
