This is too cynical of a take for me. I fell down the rabbit hole after reading/watching some of Vitalik's writing years ago. I think it's worth spending a small, insignificant amount to play around with some apps that have a genuine purpose. These days I'm most interested in gitcoin.co grants and the use of quadratic funding to support public goods (eg: open source software). You can read a summary write-up of a previous round [here](https://vitalik.ca/general/2020/10/18/round7.html) if curious.
