I’m genuinely excited about this. The GitHub actions platform is genuinely bad compared to circle or Travis but they’ve been totally crowded out because GitHub was just so easy to use. This has led to plenty of security issues and a general lack of innovation in the ci space. Hopefully by this pricing structure change we’ll see more investment in ci tooling across the industry

GitHub Actions were never too easy to use. But they were cheap to use, so anything more expensive had trouble competing.

Now the playing field is more level, yay. Fun for those who choose to migrate away.

		This. There are plenty of good/better CICD solutions out there, but it's tricky to compete with "comes for free with our VCS". I guess it's clear now there is no such thing as a free lunch. I feel it's a good thing for the "CICD industry" that people will be looking around to alternatives, and do a honest Total Cost of Ownership analysis.

		Github actions are expensive. However, they were free for public repos and you could self-host. That’s what made them “cheap”.
