Yawn. See argumentum ad populum and/or argumentum ad numerum as logical fallacies.

Possibly, explain how you jumped from objective usefulness to "objectively and universally useless".

And how many of those "things" have proven objective usefulness? You may believe that ivermectin is a magic bullet for treating COVID-19, that smearing cow dung on your head will help cure baldness or consuming powdered rhinoceros horn will help with everything from cancer to gout. That does not imply any proven objective usefulness.
And your argument is just weird. Enjoy whatever smug satisfaction you derive by pretending to be the arbiter of what is useless for anyone but yourself.

Also... you clearly seem to be conflating "useless services" with "ineffectual home remedies" or pseudoscience.. But whatever. You clearly know best.
