is stealth rock a good move or a smogon meme?
It's a good move. It punishes switching. It doesn't see use in Battle Spot if that's what you're asking.
It's an OP move. Needs an easier way to remove them, like sending a rock type out gets rid of them similar to poison types and toxic spiked
I hate battles of who can switch the most but I also hate smogon rocks

Its a punishing overcompensation for flyers/levitators who avoid other hazards that have more fair effects and also require more setup to be as potent.
Change stealth rock to set damage like spike already ffs gamefreak

This, competitive is boring because switching out parties aren't fun, but wasting a turn on setting meme rocks is annoying as hell.

In singles? Yes.
Doubles? Too slow.

it's a good move in 6v6 singles.
the reason it's used so much in Smogon matches is becauseSmogon matches arw usually 6v6 singles

Only in singles, it's great to counter strong Pokemon that are weak to rock and also to break things like sash and prevent walling/stalling/substitute.

Learn to read switches. There's nothing more satisfying than a good switch read where you ohko the min switched in.

Thry probably hate it because they get predicted all the time.

I'd like them more if there was more ways to get rid of them
It's good for 6 vs 6
