Title: Antpool just mined a BCH block

Also, notice that BHC only has about 3% more profitability than BTC at the moment. Why did  it go so low that fast?

Bitcoin also went up in price, so there's that... many factors contributing to profitability, from difficulty and hashrate to exchange rate. I guess one can run calculations himself to check on what's happening :D

Oooopsss... up to 13% again.

Right, I didn't think of that.  :)

Those blocks are almost empty. Does that have any effects on difficulty or how much the miners are earning?

Someone has to really explain to me what this BCH stuff is all about, I have been seeing posts everywhere about BTC and BCC, I am really trying to understand what has been going on and why did the split have to occur at this time

BCC and BCH are "the same". When Bitcoin Cash was hardforked, they didn't have a clear tag for the token, some used BCC, some used BCH. Turns out BCC was taken already by an altcoin called BitConnect. And then people got extremely confused. It shows how much of a mess the entire thing was. Not even the token was clear.

To this day, some people use BCC, BCH and even BCash to refer to Bitcoin Cash.
