I think alts keep getting hammered by bad news. Ripple had the SEC, Privacy coins have exchange delistings etc. For now I don't think alts will gain on BTC.
Altcoins are very many, not only include Ripple and privacy coins, so not all Altcoins are insulted by people, and when talking about seasons for Altcoins, there are probably still even though you don't think alts will gain on BTC.
