For me daily scrum meetings were valuable when the team remains small and work on related stuff in a fast pace. But for the last few years, it has not been the case for me. Standups have been organized for managers and scrum masters so that they attend only 1 meeting and participants were not working on directly related topics. Most did not care about what others were doing and issues they faced. We reduced them to bi-weekly or 3 times a week and re-focused them on synchronization topics... Also my general feeling (maybe because I am an old developer) is that it is infantilizing, and a way to maintain peer pressure.
