It's good to know about it, for sure. But, at the end of the day, profit makes profit-driven things happen. It's important to know about and advocate for more important values than profit.
Profit is not a “value.” It’s a way of measuring costs versus benefits independent of value system. What measuring profit does, which many people hate, is reveal what people actually value. It’s hard to manipulate which leads many to call to “put it aside.”

IDK. there are non-profits helping women and children who suffered domestic violence, and some of those activities are state supported.
People don't really donate and cover those expenses out of their free will.
Still, helping those women and children is objectively a very valuable thing.
So maybe, people shouldn't be the only ones determining what's valuable ? And hence, maybe profit shouldn't be the only thing determining what's valuable ?
