Yes but not everything needs to make a profit, just not make a loss. Also it could be community supported with donations and stuff:)

YouTube was operating at a loss under Google for years. The only reason it is able to exist is because a massive entity like Google was able to absorb that without folding, and keep providing a free service until it becomes profitable (is it even yet? I’m not sure).
I mean fuck Google, and yes a big enough non-profit (or even government) could do it, but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in right now.
