Garry's Mod Profitability

I've been wondering ifGarry's Mod is still a profitable game, I know there's certain

sources of income from the game using one of their systems which allowed popup browsers, which

you could make a few dollars from advertisement providers such as MOTDgd

I believe MOTDgd is the primary advertisement provider for Garry's Mod, and it's not the best,

however I do know you can make a few dollars withtheir NET30 payments.

I've never really seen servers that accept donations, and that also achieve getting active donations.

I understand that Garry's Mod doesn't need the most powerful machine, it needs something a little more

than basic to handle certain things, along with anti-crash/anti-lag addons, so a ~$10/Month VPS

could handle a basic server (not much of course), but what's an average profit window?

Summarized Question:

Is Garry's Mod actually profitable?

The gmod profity comes by donations (vip buying)
I've never seen someone advertising on the motds, or game panels or anything like this.

Gmod is a single core based server, if you're running linux you can do a gmod server with 1GB ram, but a good single core cpu easily, something arround 25 dollars, and yeas.
you'll make profit if your server is good enough.

I have some exclusive gamemodes, and leaked gamemode with modifications tough, if you wan't to buy one... who knows

What's usually sold with 'VIP' (Donation Packages)?

I don't think you know what MOTDgd is, so I'll explain it simply;
MOTDgd:It allows you to show your players ads when they join, die, and respawn.

If it can be ran on a simple 1GB/1C, then that'd be way less than $25 USD, you could host multiple servers on a $25 USD machine

EDIT: Also, I don't need any exclusive gamemodes, I'm a developer if I wanted to create one

I run 5 csgoservers (3surf,1 bhop,1 mm/arena) and 4 gmod servers, i really know what is a MOTD
When i told u, a good single core i'm talking about I series processors instead of Xeon, and a real core, not a vcore. ~so it can take up to 25 USD, i'm always talking about the top prices here.

You can be a developer, but gmod lua need's a lot of time to understand and master, making a gamemode isn't a easy work.
ach server do what they want with vip donations, depends on the gamemode.
