So those who missed our very knowledgeable forum member,
Metroid amazing topics,
HERE is the link for you to understand what the OP is talking about

.... Yeah for him(metroid) gpu mining was dead from the beginning

But for some reason All my built miners from 2016/2017 are still working and making money/profit, as they did in the past 4-5 years .
Sometime less, sometime more , but for me gpu mining never was dead ...
