  This ain't enshittification.

  Sure it is. The fact it happened in 2016 doesn't make it less shitty.

    I don’t know that “requiring a free account” is enshitification.
    Enshitification is the pursuit of profits at the expense of users and core experience.

    Sure, it’s annoying. Especially if I’m checking something on a random computer that I don’t want to log into GitHub with.
    But worst case, I can search on my phone then navigate to the file.

      pursuit of profits

      What non-profit motive do you think they have for requiring a login?

        Right, and at the expense of who?
        You can’t just quote a small section of what I say, and “gotcha” me.
        How is this at the expense of users or core features?
