What makes you think he doesn’t make a profit on the paid for plans?

Making a profit =/= running something for profit

Don’t know why you’re yelling at me, I just said he makes profit, specifically from me as I’ve used the service since it was only free.

Lol, they’re not? THIS WOULD BE YELLING AT YOU. This is me calmly explaining that “running for profit” and “running at a profit” isn’t the same thing.

Who’s yelling? I’m pointing out that one can make a profit without that necessarily being the goal.

Oh I know he does, the project has almost 3x times the money in donations/premium features than what is required to run it. however it was never about making profit nor he will sell out to a bigger company and suddenly shutdown all free services. Actually I hope he continuous to make a profit and increase it because he deserves it.
