I hear ya man, I was and always will be skeptical of alot of things in cryptoland. But you know what they say. Scared money dont make money! I decided to pull the trigger on cloud mining not long ago and I love it so far. Its mindless really. If you have the extra money to invest that is it can totally be worth it. Lets say you take that $2100 you wanted to spend on an ant miner and buy a contract with it. For bitcoin mining you could get roughly 15 TH and pay 0 electricity costs. That would yield roughly $13 per day and about 5k per year. But you do have to factor in difficulty rises. But anyway yeah not all cloud mining sites are a scam. Genesis Mining is one of the most well known cloud mining sites and have been paying people for years.
