Are pistol squats a meme?

[JovenCansao]

Even with weights I barely feel anything after doing these unlike a regular weighted squat, not to mention it is limited to one leg at a time so more reps and more time overall.

Do these have any benefits over regular squats or any other exercise really, or just a meme exercise that destroys your knees?

do them with the dumbells go as heavy as you can do one rep then switch legs

100lbs pistol squat with two 50lbs dumbells 1rm necessitate crazy leg strength
