people need to stop supporting projects with no potential for long-term profitability unless those projects can survive without any support from for-profit companies.

You see the contradiction here right?

I don't. Could you elaborate?

Open source projects have no potential for long term profitability unless those projects get support from for profit companies, thus compromising the nature of open source.

Not all FOSS projects need to be profitable to survive. IOW if a project cannot survive without being profitable and it cannot be profitable long-term, then it cannot survive long-term.
