I think people mine eth because its well known and its the only gpu minable altcoin over $1000 on a regular basis so the uninformed think it will be more profitable

depends on the hardware you have, amd rx cards are so so on every algo but crytonight and ethhash
so if you have those u should be mining eth or orher cryptonight clones.

Nivida 10x cards have way more options, probably best on nicehash

Your hash rate stays the same, the reward is lower. Therefore you have choices, switch to something more profitable and sell in exchange for eth if that is what you want to hold, or buy faster hardware with higher hash rates to retain your profit/day levels.
Switching to a different alt coin would make the most sense for a return on your investment standpoint. You can always mine eth again if the difficulty goes back down.

I am surprised with the amount of people mining eth with the current difficulty, I'm new myself and wondering if its just other new miners still learning about alt coins, while and in the mean time mining eth because thats what all the hype is, or just a bunch of amd guys? In any case The calculators say there is plenty of better options out there.

So I was wondering... Given the increasing diff since the start of the year (ie. ~ 20%), what does that look like day to day? For instance, will I see my MH/s drop on my 1070s over time from 30 MH/s slowly to 27, 25, 22,etc? Or will the MH/s remain the same, but the amount of eth I get for the same MH/s be reduced of diff increases?
