It's somewhat hard times for miners right now.

Since the boom that happened over the summer there are a lot more GPUs driving up the difficulty lately. Add to that a bit of a downtrend in the alt market because of bitcoin forks, and you have the current situation.

Still, I don't think it's as bad as it was in 2015. The way to get profit is to hodl and look for undervalued projects. After the fork to 2MB blocks alts will probably recover.
