True, it does seem that way.

Right now the altcoin community has been flooded with dozens of clones and joke coins.

Considering that:

• many of us do have some FTC in our wallet, and therefore a vested interest in seeing it rebound
• FTC was one of only a handful of coins to show a decent profit on exchanges
• a glance at coinchoose.com right now shows no altcoins being more than a few percent better than mining BTC directly
  

Then hopefully some more folks will throw their otherwise idle mining at FTC for a day or two.
