The most resource intensive users on sourcehut are, almost always, using it for private, proprietary software. Generally speaking they don't have paid accounts.

@drewdevault private repos being for paid accounts only is not a bad model!

@drewdevault Why not make them pay for private repositories? Seems only fair.

@dusnm @drewdevault It's probably pretty fair, but all of the major code forges now permit free private repos.

@ocdtrekkie @drewdevault Okay, they could figure out some other financial model. Pay per use, comes to mind. You pay for the compute time you use. I'm assuming Drew is talking about builds here.

I obviously don't have access to the data Drew is referencing but proprietary software has a habit commiting large and/or binary artifacts to the repository a lot more often than any FOSS project does
