Run a node not for profit, but as a civic duty - the modern equivalent of polishing your rifle to defend constitutional principles.

Is it even possible to make a profit running a node?

Not with the node software itself, but generally things like running joinmarket as a market maker or a routing lightning node are going to be built on top of your node, and those can absolutely make you a profit.

Quite a small profit.

I run a node for the same reason I wear clothing most of the time -- I'm not an exhibitionist.

If you're using someone else's node, you're flashing your transactions at them to oogle at.
