Majority of cloudmining websites are scams anyway. The 1 or 2 that are not scams will not bring you any ROI. Cloudmining is the stupidest thing that I have heard about, but greed takes over in people so they invest in anything.
This.
Think about it. Companies exist for profits, can't survive without profits, and rarely do anything that doesn't help their bottom line, let alone base their business model around it.
So why would they essentially pay people money to have an account? If the mining is profitable, they would be doing themselves instead of splitting the money with the customer when the only thing the customer brings to the table is capital.
The idea is that they can't purchase the hardware without the investment of their costumors. If they had the money to buy the equipment, they wouldn't rent out the hash
I think that retail ASIC selling is nearly in the same boat for that reason.
A lot of people lost money on mining gear and fell behind the difficulty curve.
By the time they got the equipment, it was too weak.
But at least with ASICS, the end user has to supply electricity, storage,
possibly cooling, hardware maintenance, and software maintenance.
And possibly some of these things are easier to do on a smaller scale.
