Of course Drew DeVault thinks this way. He's trying to monetize his own github-like product, the sourcehut, so less people using GitHub means more people using sourcehut.
- mouldysammich 6y agoHis product is, however, free and open-source, which follows that goal of avoiding centralization of free open-source software.

- CameronNemo 6y agoDrew made source hut as a reaction to github and the centralization he laments. Monetization is absolutely essential to run a SaaS. It would not be a sustainable exercise without a monetization strategy.
