Some of these users are used for various error-reporting tools to report issues as. I'm not paying these any salary, nor are they actual, you know, people.
Some of these users also aren't developers but just need access to the bug tracker. Some of them are outside contractors for whom multiple companies are now paying the github tax.
But sure. $1.3K isn't much, but it's 5x more than what we had to pay previously and it's being sold as an improvement.
It also means that I have to be much more mindful what other bot-accounts I'm going to add to the organisation. Plus now that github has increased the prices by 5x, who's to say they don't do it again at a late time?
I don't have a problem with moderate price increases. But 5x is too much.
$1,380 is so small an amount that when I worked at BigCorp I could expense that and more each month without approval. No one cares about a thousand bucks.
That amount may be change for $BigCorp, but I do care about 1380 USD. If you have them and want to get rid of them, care to send them to me? I'll use them for a good purpose.
