Those articles just say that most fish oil supplements don’t have a high enough dose to lower triglycerides, but some did (9% of those tested). So the takeaway is that you need to do some research on what dosage you need in order to lower triglycerides and find a brand that has the proper amount. So no, fish oil isn’t pointless/useless.
Omega 3 in fish oil has many other benefits too, it’s proven to improve cognitive ability and help against some mental illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, and it helps against rheumatism.
Taking Omega3 is just about the most sure thing to be beneficial you can do among supplements, together with vitamin D.
Obviously if you get enough without supplements, it will do nothing, but very few people do.

But… the fish burps?
Never had a problem with that myself, I think that’s mostly a problem if you have reflux.
Ah, I never took fish oil, but knew someone who did that always smelled bad, and someone said it was due to it, guess they have reflux
Nah, I just always smell bad. Could shower and by the time I get to work I’m a sweat pit
