Well, animal agriculture has no future and the sooner farmers realize that, the better for us all

I wouldn't go as far as saying it has "NO future". I think we are seeing a correction right now. From an over-reliance on animal agriculture and hopefully start transitioning to a more balanced relationship with animal agriculture.
Maybe. Still doesn't seem like the best investment :)
Please don't post generic flamebait to HN. It leads to generic flamewars, which are predictable and boring.

I seriously doubt it, but am curious to hear an explanation of why people think this?
Well, it's terribly wasteful in terms of resources. And so, compared to just using plants where possible (like with alternative dairy, plant-based meats etc.): 1: it's not sustainable ecologically (compare: https://www.drawdown.org/solutions); 2: it wouldn't be sustainable economically if not for the subsidies
