The new restrictions have been put in place not long after the Bloomberg reported that GitHub suffers from a loss of $66m in the first 3 quarters this year -> https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-15/github-is... The title should be update to reflect the what's happened - the changes.
Is this not a chance for github to make some money? I'm about to launch a site on github pages (simple html site, no backend) and there's a tiny chance of it going viral. If it were to reach the 100k limit for requests I'd be more than happy paying github to keep it hosted there. I already have hosting with the likes of hostgator but they probably couldn't even handle 100k like github would.
There's also surge.sh which is pretty good for static sites. It's essentially Heroku but works with a single HTML file. It's free as well.
Has anyone actually encountered enforcement of these limits?

But not for custom domains, sadly.
How would Github "enable" HTTPS for custom domains? Do you want them to provide you with a free certificate for every custom domain you add? On the other hand, if you _do_ possess a cert for your custom domain, then HTTPS works just fine [1]. [1]: https://rishav.js.org
Yes.

GitHub pages don't support HTTPS so they're increasingly a no-go for me :(. So many endpoints are HTTPS only now that the mixed content warnings are too much hassle to deal with
Use CloudFlare to proxy-cache your Github pages and it should be fine as long as you set correct caching rules.
