Let them be thousands shitty Alts, let the newbies and losers mine this SHIT, therefore less hash rate and low difficulty for REAL coins.
Just my 0,02$
this is true
No low difficulty will come (soon/late)
because they will be back sooner than you think 
It's all about the rapidly raising difficulty on BTC & LTC i think folks with high end miners are surviving but all other down who are trying to climb the ladder some how; will continue to mine the new alt's to get any kind of profit out of their current hashing power.
It's a Free Market.
