What…? If the city isn’t paying them to operate, who is?

Holy shit crazy seeing Jones Manoel being mentioned here on lemmy. One of our best 🙌
The story is the city contracted them, they put up cameras. The city cancelled the contract, they took the cameras down. Then they up cameras again. Without any contracts. Who is paying them?
No company ever does anything for free. Without a city contract, why would they ever work/provide services?
Like it’s not about operating costs. Why would a for-profit corporation ever work without being paid to do it…?
