Bitcoin fork taking place and impact

[adetos]

I have always thought the numerous bitcoin fork that has come to existence since last year, are steps taken by bitcoin devs to decentralized the bitcoin blockchain in order to solve the problem of congestion in the bitcoin network.
If my thought is right, has it ever been true to say that the fork actually provide solution or had even created more problems in the industry or can we say it just another opportunity for some people to make money for themselves?

Some forks are actually because of splits in decisions and wanting to take a different direction in development. Others (and probably the majority) are just money grabs by people looking to make a quick buck.

Forks have generally served as a way to make free money for a lot of people. The fact that a lot of people were instantly dumping the newly forked coins means that people are generally not interested in forks and the features of the new coins, they are only after their money.
