All alts are made to be asic resistant at the begining , after most of the top alts algorithms failed in front of asics and bitmain , why should i or anyone invest in them , i prefer to switch to a new algo coins maybe someone will make it really hard on bitmain to rip off our investments , all alts are a fail now without a real algorithm that can be truely decentralized "one cpu one vote", what do you think?
Not all altcoins promote being "ASIC resitant" as their primary come-on.
Most other altcoins, you buy because of other new technologies and innovations that they promise. If you look beyond "mineable" coins, you can actually take a look at coins that have real utility and purpose in the real world as these coins can greatly increase in value and give you good profits.
