- samcday 8y agoI'll acknowledge this is a pretty good zing! But I do see some difference between the two examples. These Github listicles have a history of being collaborative efforts by developers, in order to crowdsource a high-quality source of information on some kind of topic. To have the maintainer turn around and monetize the work of others, AFTER those others already submitted their contributions, seems kinda dishonest to me. With Twitter, you (sorta) know what you're signing up for, given that you agree to EULA, privacy policy and whatnot in order to register an account.
