But why not get Github out of the equation?
I know it might seem a lot to ask but there are alternatives, Github has their right to ban you but it don't need to be the end. Or am I missing something?
> 60% of all traffic through Code Sponsor came from Github. 15% came from ad blocked traffic (I have no idea the referer). About 15% came from websites and then the remainder came from different repository websites (dockerhub, npm, etc).
From the monetizable repo views, 86% of all views were from Github. Barring a massive cultural shift, Github has to be part of the equation.
Yes, we are a way for sponsors and developers to connect. We do not tell developers where in their code to place the banner. In hindsight, this may have been part of the problem. Perhaps we should have been more rigid in how we allow developers to present the banner.
TAForObjReasons is exactly right. Github has to be a part of the equation.
