Ok. I understand your point. 

I also didn't say financial profits. I said profits and they should definitely be most meaningful and distinguished.

I never said they *should* be a non-profit. I said they *are* unprofitable. 

> why would someone invest in it if it won't generate any profits

I don't profit from SN, yet I work myself to the bone for it. I might one day profit from it, which I wouldn't mind, but I'm building SN for the non-financial things I get by building it. 

Financial rewards are just one kind of reward. Financial rewards are the most common reward, the most universal. Financial rewards are very important for that reason, but they're also the least meaningful.
