github is owned by Microsoft, their intention is not just to make money off of it
it's like Gmail and Google

They're using our data to create AI products that they sell to whales who subsidize our usage. Whether that's long term viable, I don't know.
I got an email a couple weeks ago that said my credit card expired and GitHub couldn't renew my subscription. I honestly don't know what that subscription is getting me though, what am I paying for? I used to pay for private repos I think, but that's included for free now.
