Crazy how many people think this is okay, yet left Reddit cause of their API shenanigans. GitHub is already halfway to requiring signing in to view anything like Twitter (X).
They make you sign in to use search, on code anyways.
Which i hate so much anytime i want to quickly look for something
It's not the same making API costs unbearable for a social media user and limiting the rate non-logged-in users.
You can still use GitHub without being logged in. You can still use GitHub without almost any limit on a free account.
You cannot even use reddit on a third party app with an account with reddit gold.
