It seems the BTC addresses are unending and you generate 200 addresses per year. Is there anyway to profit from that? Anything at all?

No, you don't earn for generating bitcoin addresses, that would be easy money right.
It could be that someone sends btc to your address by accident, but that doesn't happen alot, so basically the answer is no.

i think OP is talking about Bitcoin Vanity Address generation but he doesn't know how to ask his question properly. i assume this since he said 200 addresses per year because there is no limit for creating bitcoin address and you can make hundreds of random (normally with a wallet) every hour until you get tired.

and if he means that, i have to say there is no much profit in doing that because of lack of trust and especially because there are others who are doing it with some reputation built up, but it is still not safe .

Well... He can use the split-key method, which is safe for both parties involved if i'm not mistaking. However, like you said: other, very trusted members (like Shorena) are already generating vanity addresses this way, and they ask a very minimal fee, so i don't think there is any profit to be made this way.
