Sure but it’s not always so simple. A monetary loss in one instance maybe justified as an expense if it leads to greater profit or power somewhere else down the line. Look at mainstream media companies. They pump out unprofitable propaganda. The expense is justified because that propaganda helps solidify political power and the profit that comes from that power or it sells a war that generates profit etc. Things aren’t always so one dimensional.

Ultimately, someone is profiting though.
