This... I just found a plugin for the static site generator Pelican that is 7 years old that still works. After running Pelican you get plain HTML that can be hosted anywhere. I like Netlify, but other options like GitHub pages are also great. The author recommends not putting on GitHub Pages because they haven't found a working business model and might not be here in the future. But... GitHub has been taken over by Microsoft which is most likely not going bankrupt soon and Microsoft loves their backward compatibility so I am confident they won't screw GitHub up too much.

You can say the same about geocities when it was acquired by yahoo. But it didn't last and then now it's happening with yahoo-groups. So I am not hopeful if GitHub becomes a liability microsoft will keep it.
Yahoo! And Microsoft have very different business models. One is intently more sustainable (selling software and services).
