There are a lot of coins just released now for pure quick profit, especially when they hold an ICO to sell their coins prior to launch, many times they gather the Bitcoin and run.
There are and you may need to look a bit to find them, there are some developers that care not too much about the profit and are actually excited to bring new things to the table with their coin.
Recently though as sad as it is, new altcoins seem to be pushed out and then die a quick death.
Creator get profit from each transaction. Of course its lower to send money now via bitcoin network than SWIFT BUT i too pay commission for bitcoin creators.
