~80% of pools and tokens on Uniswap are scams and rug pulls and it's even harder to figure out what's real.

Useless/scam tokens are a problem, but it's not specific to Uniswap. That's a problem inherent to permitting anyone to create a new token, like with ERC-20 tokens.

If you want to trade useful tokens, Uniswap's data is the most truthful.

It's not that the system can't be gamed, it's that he costs of gaming are transparent and predictable.

I use https://cmcsnipe.com/honeypot to check for scams, easily detects if a token is a honeypot.
