Acharya Prashant addresses a question about advertisements appearing on his videos and whether the organization uses them to make money. He begins by stating that the organization, being a non-profit, cannot earn a profit. He explains the fundamental difference between a for-profit company and a non-profit organization. A for-profit company is established to generate profit, which is the difference between its income and expenses. After paying taxes, this profit can be taken by the company's owners or shareholders. In contrast, his organization is a non-profit and acts only as a medium. Legally, it cannot use its funds for anyone's personal gain. The organization's work is to disseminate what is necessary for society, and those who understand its importance provide financial contributions or donations. This money is not for a sale but is a contribution to be used for the intended work. The organization has trustees, not owners, and they are not permitted to take even a single penny for personal use. If any money is left over, it cannot be used for personal purposes. Regarding the advertisements, Acharya Prashant explains that while they might be an inconvenience, the income they generate is crucial. He points out that the ratio of viewers to financial supporters is extremely low, approximately 1 for every 50,000 viewers. He mentions that the organization has to spend a significant amount on advertising to reach people, as most individuals would not seek out this kind of content on their own. He highlights the irony that a viewer might object to ads but be unwilling to pay a small fee for an ad-free experience, while expecting the organization to forgo the necessary ad revenue. He further clarifies that producing high-quality videos requires substantial financial resources for equipment and skilled professionals. Without these, the reach of the mission would be minimal, as was the case with older, lower-quality videos that had very few views over many years. The mission is not just to speak, but to ensure the message reaches the public. Therefore, the advertisements are a form of social service, a means to deliver the complete content—the video itself—as a gift to the world, unlike commercial ads which are merely trailers for a product to be purchased.
