Burning didn't mean huge growth, most projects that have burning features are bad, burning, deflation, etc are just simple tricks to limit supply and add value to coins only if there is high demand for the coin
Agree but there are people still naive and think burning is some sort of magical switch that helps coin skyrock, booming,... I think most coin that has to burning is just like you said, already in a bad state and I doubt by burning would do.
