Exactly. But the original argument was "well ackshually, you can self host Github, you just have to pay for it". Technically true, practically not.

While not practical for you, it's not priced out for every single small team or individual user ever. If I recall correctly, there's no minimum seat requirement still. You're changing the position of the goal post on your original comment :).

Original comment from you:

> Actually I take that back, my favorite feature is that I can host my own private instance. Gitlab gets even better if you have admin access to the system. And that's one feature Github will probably take a while to copy, if ever.

Why are people being so pedantic about this? What is going on here?

I never claimed it's "priced out for every single small team or individual user ever". You even quoted it right there:

> my favorite feature is that I can host my own private instance.

I have 33 people on my personal Gitlab instance. It would cost me over $8k per year to run a Github Enterprise instance with that many users and I don't have the kind of money to do that. Until I can do that with Github for $0 then my point stands.
