Most developers don’t overreact about a service advertising it’s own services on a service, using non intrusive text which nobody would have noticed without a red square around it.

The hilarious thing is I could go to any open source project and put a dozen red squares.

The fact that no actual projects on GitHub are getting angry about this should suggest it’s an overreaction

People including myself tried this strategy for Linux before… It’s still not year of the Linux desktop
