Programmers, can you inform me why people still use github? Its owned by Microsoft, promotes AI garbage, and that alone kind of makes it shitty as a place to host open source stuff in my book. As a simple plebian, am I missing something? I don't code, so does it offer something that other platforms don't?

@cloudskater If you, like surprisingly many folks, find their upsells to be mostly ignorable (or, for that matter, beneficial in literally any way), then that also sucks away any initiative to migrate, because from that perspective the alternatives are at best the same, and at worst, worse.
