> Keep your code private if that's your attitude though. You don't want to share your code, you just want free advertisement.

There is no money nor mindshare to be had, so advertising is the entirely wrong way to think about it. This is a thought-process warped by the commercial sector. Even if somebody doesn't use my code they are still welcome to learn from it. They're welcome to use it, too, I just don't want to know about it :)

Fair enough. But I go back to my point that you can share source code without hosting a repository and a version control system. version control systems are intended to facilitate collaboration on code, and their exposure implies the intended audience that would perform such collaboration. Making it private shows that collaboration isn't a public affair. You can have a public repo that only hosts releases, or just host releases on your website.
