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

Free private repos on github is relatively new, only introduced after a rise in popularity of gitlab (which has free private repos).

Seems like github is too popular for itself.

		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.
