Are you the user or the product? You can be both with GitHub! GitHub provide a compelling product, enough to become the defacto forge for many. But their reputation has taken a lot of hits, as a grey beard I'm salty since the Microsoft takeover, the downtime is just the leaky diaper icing.

To diagnose at a distance it feels like they need a stronger QA process, it's a product that scales horizontally, but somehow they find a way to break it for everyone on the regular! They need less hub and more node!

> I don't understand the entitlement in your post here.

Excuse me, I'm literally asking where I can pay to get the specific cloud/web-based features I listed. I'm trying hard to NOT rely on a free tier because I want to pay to have the entitlement to complain when I don't get what I paid for. You know, the way that commerce has existed for millennia. [0]

I don't know where this aggression is coming from. You seem to want me to stay on the free tier and shut up or go all locally-hosted. Great if either of those work for you, buddy.

Not OP, but I pay. And it was an annoyance today for several hours that did impact some work.

I don't need one, but I do have that because it's doing a bit more work than just git hosting (administratable access for others on the team, build actions, etc) and yes... I'm paying for it.

And I don't understand why some people feel they need to be the Criticism Constable.
