Soundcloud botting profitable?

does anyone here both soundcloud and know if its profitable?

Not sure if it is profitable but the point of botting it is to gain ranking.

I have, through SC's Monetize thing. I had to set up my details and all, and then every about 2 months or so, I earn around $5 - normally the payout's done every month, but I don't earn the minimum of $5 in one month. I've also setup my SC Artist platform recently and only published a track there because I was curious to see what the process is - but for now I don't plan on publishing any more - I'd like my music to be somewhat exclusive to SoundCloud, Bandcamp and maybe YouTube sometimes
