I disagree. I guess we can't agree to disagree as to whether or not we can agree to disagree.
As a neutral observer (who did not downmod you, btw), your post did come across as oh-so-slightly whiney. I pay for Github. I don't care that they are offering Micro free.
What would be awesome is if they sent you a subscriber-only shirt after every 12 paid months or something, though. I don't actually use private repositories; I pay for the micro plan just to show my support :)
its more of a commentary on the account plans that github has. compare it to pretty much every other github competitor, and they almost unilaterally provide at least one free private repo.
