They just split like 2 months ago? These splits just feel like scams because they have brand name recognition.

I'm sure the apparent financial success of past forks has a lot to do with the number of new ones emerging - though it's interesting to look at the underlying political reasons. Bitcoin Gold split off Bitcoin just recently on the 23rd of October - that was to adopt/test an ASIC-resistant algorithm similar to what Monero uses. This coming split seems to be quite a hostile power struggle.
