In my opinion, the forks are damaging bitcoin and the cryptocommunity as with every coin the creditibility of bitcoin suffers, while the confusion increases. Especially for new investors who haven't been following the whole story this is confusing and might scare new people away form investing, thus slowing down the mass adoption rate. The free coins are a nice perk, but it is damaging for the cryptospace as a whole.I made a post about the upcoming Bitcoin Gold fork, would be cool to get some feedback on it :)
