Those drops always rise however. Look at ethermine pool stats instead and zoom out to Dec 24th,
https://ethermine.org/statistics
You can see the total hashrate was 61.7TH/s or so, and now its back to 60.8TH/s so the drop is more like ~1.5% or so. The hashrate decreased by 1.5mh/s per card so its more like 5% less. Since the price went up, the profitability is still the same however.
It would of been good if also the power consumption went down also by 5% then maybe it would make up for it. But when the speeds get into the 15MH/s range, then its mostly not worth keeping them running.

no don't look at a pool stats look at complete network.
from 23 to 25 was a 4.7% drop
it is too early to know it that is a reflection of 4gb cards leaving and new hash coming on.
if true it will trend down for 6-9 more dags.
If not true we will just grow. So by jan 27 or so we are 230ph for the network or 310-315ph
WE COULD HAVE SINKING HASH AND RAISING PRICE = $$$$$$
