I wouldn't take a simple JPG so seriously.
I used to run a bunch of these types of nominations back in the dot-com bubble, they didn't mean a lot except exposure for my website/project.
The sad part is that obvious P&D coins are being nominated just because the people behind them are trying to pump up the price more to dump it via one of these nominations.
The truth is as long as a new coin is still tied to the old BTC blockchain, there is really no innovation or improvement except a fancy new wallet that promises a lot but doesn't deliver.
Generation 2.0 crypto like NODE is trying to change the protocol of the blockchain (NODE has its own chain) and create a true whole new wave of tech, innovations, and improvements.
So don't take those nominations so seriously, in the end they are just created to pump the price of a favorite new clone coin.
We have great devs in NODE and we know it in this community.
I fully agree with you but there are some brilliant devs in that list.
