I feel like your entire comment could be ended with "...yet"

I'm sure the screws will tighten on it. Unless Microsoft's entire plan is to run it forever, giving blank checks to GitHub, as a way to endear developers to Microsoft.

Maybe.

Endearing developers to Microsoft is probably the entire strategy behind the Github acquisition in the first place.

I can't remember - Did Skype have ads before or after Microsoft acquired it?

It had ads for a long while before Microsoft acquired it, but IIRC then you could actually remove them by removing a checkmark in settings

I really don't remember any, however they might have just been less prominent.
