It's basically like Antares Autotune in music, to correct "singers" who can't really actually sing, which is most in the top charts today. There are few current top-chart artists who can truly sing (Gaga, Sheeran are some who can actually sing - with 0 effects). I'm not talking about using it as a vocal effect, but as it was originally intended - to correct pitch of singers who can't really sing. Although I think many using it as an effect also can't really sing and hide behind the effect to mask that fact. It's just a crutch for sub-par singers.
