Re: There's something I don't get
"It's also deceptive for Github to have a "sponsor" program when their entire relevancy depends on coders not being paid."
I don't know about deceptive, but it's definitely an intended feature. *All* the extant payment systems have one thing in common - the actual amount paid is, on average, peanuts. That's acceptance criterion number one. Anybody who comes up with a payment system that would actually result in significant payments being made is going to have a fight on their hands.
