Sorry to suggest this but if they charged everyone say $1/mo. it would absolutely help the massive surge from AI coding they seem to have had. I don't like paying for free stuff but gh certainly worth it.

Pay per issue and commit. Buy 1,000 commit credits at a time. Might force people to review their slop before pushing it.

  I would support time based quotas or limits per tier (free, solo, team, etc) But I'm not going to pay per commit over my monthly plan

    I wasn’t being completely serious with my suggestion, but I was thinking of a totally PAYG model. Monthly plans could come with credits, like they already do for Actions.

Unfortunately time and time again, the overwhelming majority of people show that they would rather deal with an unreliable scummy company for "free" than pay $1/mo for a reliable service which treats them with respect :(

  Surely that's the point. Shed users.

  OK that "treats them with respect" is certainly an important aspect though. It does not seem like GH is especially great on that one, including listening to its users.

  > service which treats them with respect Which mythical tech company - free or paid - does this?

You are always paying one way or another, I prefer to pay in dollars and not frustration, attention, or privacy.

  Not an option. Companies are happy to sell you products at premium prices, take your money, and then still collect, mine, insecurely store, and sell all your private data.

Microsoft are doing many things to help the AI coding surge, I'm not sure if this'd be a cost effective thing towards it.

I am surprised they didn't rollback their change from 2019 when they included up to 5 private repos in free plan. Before that you had to pay to keep your code from being publicly visible.
