You are right, I had similar thoughts that meme coins are in their way even more honest than ‘serious’ projects. However, while I consider Ethereum a shitcoin and almost all projects running on it mostly bullshit, I have sympathy for some developers who are intelligent and exploring new ways (even if their conclusions are not correct in my personal opinion). Point being, I think that there is some good in what they do while for meme coins I struggle to find that ‘good’. And my main aversion to it is really not so much to what they are but rather the degeneracy that is gathering around it.
