Over the years, I've come across — and even been airdropped — a number of absolute shitcoins, many of which bordered on the outright obscene and obnoxious… and yet they somehow found the light of day and somebody issued them, and then there they are, out in the Cryptosphere!
Not turds... mushrooms on our lawn...
Shitcoins kind of remind me of gag gifts… you know those weird gifts you get from your weird cousin Ike who is convinced that things like singing plastic fish, a yodeling pickle or a bouquet of roses that smell like a fart are the funniest things ever and therefore a perfect gift.
And so everybody cracks up for about 30 seconds and then you move back to watching the football game, after which the yodeling pickle and the bouquet of "fragrant" roses and up either in the trash (and thus, the landfill) or in your next garage sale where some dirty faced 7-year old thinks it's the funniest thing in the world and plunks down $0.25 to get it.
Not a rose, and it doesn't smell like a fart!
Bottom line: it's a laugh for a moment and then nobody cares.
It's distinctly possible that I'm just a humorless twat, but the thing I don't really get is the "value relationship", here… or rather, the mindset that goes with being willing to expend lots of effort and often quite a bit of money and resources in order to extract a 30-second laugh that will be completely forgotten in a few hours.
Just tell a funny joke, instead... and give me a package of beef jerky or something, as a gift!

Ha Ha! Thanks for the laugh : )
Sometimes shitcoins go up... Hopefully you've had a couple of those!
-P.C.
I've had a couple that mysteriously skyrocketed and I managed to sell before they crashed HARD into the abyss of forgotten things... but hey, a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks, right?
That's right indeed : )
