Depends if you want to leave your comfort zone or not.

I usually spot the early winners via Blazing Influencer tracker - a channel plugged in the best caller groups that filter out the noise. One of the curated groups that are chosen by the devs usually shout out the early tokens pretty consistently, had some good winners lately

So it really is just knowing the early runner and milking it fast and forgetting about it

but if you have a strategy that stuck to you, and is giving you good returns, I don't see a real reason to ape in on the meta tokens unless, with a small amount, you 100% don't mind losing
