CoinMarketCap and Coingecko approach to token tickers is like Yahoo!'s original directory.

Dexscreener's approach to token tickers is closer to Google PageRank, albeit simpler. You can name a webpage the same thing, what matter is the social proof (as measured by market cap, liquidity, trading volume).
