Is it worth it to mine crypto with my PC?

I have been using the app salad (if you want to try ask me for my refer code), and I got a discord nitro basic after like 20 hours. I am thinking of doing like Ravencoin or something, is it worth it do try mining? 

 

(Probably not tbh)

I have always been somewhat against crypto mining. However a while back, I tried out salad while they were beta testing containers and bandwidth sharing, which is different from crypto. I ran salad on some weak power efficient windows computers. I made about a dollar a day on each machine and I defiantly was not using a dollar worth of power. After containers and bandwidth sharing went public it became not profitable and a waste of electricity so I stopped using salad.

 

As others have said, mining is not profitable unless you have practically free power. It also brings up some ethical questions.
