Indeed, most of the things created on the Ethereum platform are just shittier versions of things that exist - while decentralization can be a huge boon to some things it needs to combat its inherent complexity increase for users. Ethereum does not lend itself well to that, as such almost everyone is there for a get-rich-quick scheme, not for the higher applications on its platform. Wait for the hype to run out, then look at it again when it's not at a peak value.
