But the project wasn't started in order to sell ads on wordpress.com hosting

I think the point from reply above is that the line about all successful projects being 'for-profit' projects is clearly bogus, and I would totally agree with that.

Wordpress sells premium services on Wordpress.com in addition to the ads.
