That was a different user. The fact that a user not running a git hosting service is potentially eating $200 a month should queue you into the fact that the cost to Drew is likely drastically higher than that.

Google should be sending reimbursement checks for the damage done here on this issue.

Drew is running a code hosting business and this is a cost of providing a feature to the users. He can pass the costs on if it is a problem. He has lots of options and his competitors are not making a big deal out of this.

I suspect he's drawn his line in the sand and wants to keep it going rather than finding a solution that works without requiring upstream changes.

If I provide a paid service and someone abuses it I must deal with it because my larger competitors deal with it? It's good to know that small businesses have no place in the modern world.
