"Permission less" doesn't equal "except shitty behaviour". The more shitty behaviour is called out as shitty behaviour by the community, the less shitty behaviour you will have.
I don't know if there was a flood, there was certainly a few but most had some kind of plan, from my memory it wasn't untill Eth came along things seemed to explode in number of coins
You really don't know? WTF. in a short time there were thousands of useless fucking shitcoins and they had 1 plan only: making their imbecile creators rich.
Lol please don't dude !! Now and then I clear up my tokens and send the shittest of them to a token dump. It usually ends up taking ages and costing thousands of sats!! It's not funny!
