it doesn't say "free", it says "for profit".

And usually the opposite of something sold for profit is free. I mean, personally I've never heard of something sold for non-profit.

The opposite of "nothing a human needs should be sold for profit" would be "everything a person needs to survive should be free."

I’ve never heard of something sold for non-profit.

A synonym used more often is "sold at cost".

This is just like how people confuse the words "profit" and "revenue". Sold for no revenue would be for free, sold for no profit doesn't mean free at all.

whooooosh

This implies the comment I replied to was joking. So what's the punchline? Cuz it reads more like they didn't understand what I said initially than being a joke.

Or being highly pendantic about the verbiage that a reasonable person would have understood through context.
