Are you paying for GitHub? Are you complaining about an outage from a product you aren't even paying for? You know the whole point of git is you don't _need_ a central server. I don't understand the entitlement in your post here.

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

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.

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.
