I mean for an individual. With the increasing difficulty and halving it gets harder and harder for an individual to make a profit from mining.
What do you think about this?

It won't be profitable for small time miner as big farms usually are able to get rebates from their electricity and hardware. However, normal users can still participate in lottery mining and hope that they hit a block one day. The chances are small but it is worth a try.

It all depends there is no way to say "Yes bitcoin will always be profitable" or "No it will always not be profitable". Right now hobby and home miners are doing pretty good with recent jump in btc value.

Big farms will always have the best luck on ROI since they have a ton of cash and can follow cheap electricity. But I think there will always be some home and hobby miners. They will be profitable for the forseeable future.

Having will be the big thing no one knows what will really happen... until then I think as long as decent electricity even small guys do fine.
