> Their goals only align with yours if your goal is to make GitHub more profitable.

Er, no. Their goal is to make github more profitable. My goal is to have a convenient code repository that facilitates both devops and code collaboration within our team. Our goals still align.



You are assuming for some reason that they won't sacrifice your convenience for their profits. Or maybe you think it's impossible to profit from limiting customer convenience?


When they do, then our goals will misalign :-)


They already do sacrifice convenience for profit.


Subjective. I think GitHub is the most convenient for my use case. That's why I pay for it. Like OP if they sacrifice MY convenience then we misalign.

The big thing here is that nobody else satisfies my convenience like GitHub does.

Also all of these companies are for profit, so to pick on GitHub for trying to make a profit is disingenuous.
