I started paying for GitHub because it offered a service I want, not to support "tech capitalism". I'm still not convinced that capitalism is the right model for software. The GitHub situation is exactly what I'd feared.
When private fire departments fail to work well for citizens, we no longer just say "Well, fire department capitalism is hard!" It's the wrong model.
