Usually with these low to mid cap coins the difficulty can change drastically for many reasons. There is very little profit to begin with so if someone has a large farm of old GPUs and there is a coin that is 10% more profitable, they will switch over all their rigs to that coin.
And I am pretty sure these days there are pools or software out there like Nicehash that automatically switches to the most profitable coin. I remember back in the 2013-2014 days there was no such thing, you had to manually use the difficulty and price of the coin to determine which is more profitable. If you managed to do this extra work every day you could of net slightly more income by switching to a completely different coin. These days its all done automatically.
Yes i hate nicehash keeps changing their users. I cant calculate profit for RVN and BEAM because it goes up and down again and again.it is sinawave.

I mainly gear everything to growing btc.
but I check all my other coins which I hodl for 10 days or 20 days at a time. I then with cash them out or convert them to btc.
so many miners change to ETC mining from elsewhere. So i see nothing special, all is fine.
