Not convinced. Just because the vampire is feeding you cookies doesn't mean it isn't sucking your blood.

(Slightly) more accurate analogy...

The vampire is feeding cookies to the developer, and sucking blood out the company that hosts the developer's code on the vampire's cloud.

Not such a bad deal for us developers, IMO.

Also the vampire keeps firebombing your house telling you that you should instead live in the house that the vampire is selling, filled with wiretaps and bathroom cameras so he can sell those to third parties for a profit.

remember that movie "mars attacks" how the humans kept falling for the ruse, martians want peace we just had some misunderstandings, lets try again, then the martians screw them?

This whole situation looks like that movie. MS has started convincing people to trust them once again, after capturing sovereign territory. The thing that allowed this was the hope that a centralized service [github] will stay as is forever. this should be the poster child for distributed peer to peer sharing.

I feed my cattle too. If they understood their situation, they would hate and fear humans even more than they hate and fear dogs. They've been bred for generations not to understand their situation...
