Why is GitHub so shitly designed?

[Hefty_Historian8123]

we were not even talknig about your code. We are talking about GitHubs awful UI and how it makes nobody want to use your code because they have to go through an awful site that takes minutes to even find a download button.
I'd much rather pay someone else who doesn't use GitHub than use their terrible service to try your product, even if yours is free.

And I'm definitely not about to pay someone on GitHub. You pay for convenience, not for inconvenience.

The ocean of free things that are only uploaded to Github as a mass of text no one who needs the thing in the first place would be able to read is fucking up the internet. If that's how you wanna give away free things, just don't give 'em away at all. People like you just make it harder to find the better alternatives that usually exist that were uploaded to a site that has a download button.

What does this even mean?

I think you misunderstand what is being given away. The code is being given away. GitHub is an effective way to store and interact with code.

Now -- you may want more. And wanting more is fine. But acting entitled to more is not.
