Recently I got a notification from one of the exchanges I use for some shitcoin mining long ago and I left the exchange and everything about the mining because I started focusing on real things and making good investments for long term and creating a real life usefulness for myself, but however noticed I received some USDC form one of the minings I did back then after reading through everything it was a small amount that my mining was worth and was converted to USDC and sent to my address. So I was wondering if this mining shits still exist.

Have you looked altcoin announcement board in here? If you want to get in early to some fair launch coins, i think that's still the way to do it. Other way would be some profitability calculators and "what to mine" sites. But imho those are just for cashing out immediately and you would be mining against some shitcoin mining farms, so you are far from early.
That's however an impractical way for any dev to fund their project, so imho it's more niche, ideological and old school way to build something. I wish those would rise again, but i doubt they'll ever be as popular as they were.
