> people will get fed up and register an account, and github can brag about how many new users they brought in

This makes no sense. The number of people who use GitHub code search but don’t already have a GitHub account is surely negligible

it's about having you logged in for the day.

logged in user ad impression is 8 to 12 usd. anonymous user is .01cent per thousands.

I believe the previous poster means that there are people who have an account but aren't logged in all the time.

I honestly don’t understand why. On my computer I log in once and that’s it. They don’t automatically log you out. I haven’t logged into GitHub since setting up my computer.
