| I think GitHub leans on this free repos thing a lot for getting new users though. Like I could see people just moving to GitLab |

| ▲ | odo1242 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Fair, but the point is GitHub’s model is: Free Users use GitHub => when a company needs source control => all their coders use GitHub => company buys expensive enterprise contract. If there’s less of an advantage to using free GitHub then that funnel works less effectively. |

| GH isn't good enough to charge that much for its core services. 90% of its user base would just find better or cheaper alternatives, and the only ones remaining would be legacy enterprise codebases that are just impossible or too expensive to migrate. |

| 80/20 rule would suggest that you don't need to apply $1 to all users, just those who create an excessive number of AI slop repos or make an excessive number of commits. Could do similar for GH actions usage. |
