GitHub’s free code storage, static site hosting, etc. is compensation If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product.

  You can't give someone a dime (that they could have easily picked up from any of your competitors too) and then break into their house claiming they had been compensated. In this case they even steal code authored by people who never used GitHub at all, but had someone else mirror it or publish it on GitHub.

    Not fair, while giving you the dime I'm pretty sure they quietly whispered something about them getting to live in your walls as compensation

  GitHub’s business model is simple, they use the free tier to stay the main platform and easily attract paying customers.

  Uh? What about projects that are mirrored on github? Why are their original authors being punished if they don't even own a github account?
