a few semi pro traders i've seen made one for the lulz (with absurd names like karencoin) and the price rocketed (illiquid asset) which made them withdraw their trade from the market because they assumed it was a sign of dumb level bubble hit

How about Losercoin? Two self-described broke losers in rural China created it and put their life savings into providing it with liquidity. It now has a 53 million dollar market cap.

Isn't all this altcoin "market cap" stuff fake cap generated by bots that thinly trade new coins until a sucker buys them out?

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some others are not thinly traded.
