Agreed. I've never made as much $ mining as I do right now. Anyone who tells you it's not profitable has absolutely no clue what they're talking about & the most important thing is to do your own research. Also HOW/what you mine, how much you pay for what hardware & your ability to squeeze every hash out of your cards while maintaining stability makes a big difference.
GPU mining rigs aren't always just plug in/go like ASIC & being tech savvy goes a long way. Lastly if you want to be successful you need to treat mining like a business & have an always evolving business plan. This is a very competitive industry & success long term depends on taking advantage of every edge you can get.
Good luck!
