While understandable, this is sad to see. The amount of interesting and useful code that is currently available due to GitHub defaulting to public will likely be seriously negatively impacted by this.

I currently am on the $7/mo plan for myself (5 private repos I think) - I presume for users this benefits, there's no need to cancel anything.
That’s the one I have too

Got it.
My free academic discount expired a month ago. I was thinking to subscribe $7/month but it seems like I won't need to pay.
I was even sold to 10 private repos with 1 dev shared :)
This makes me uncomfortable. Private subscriptions were a direct revenue stream for Github, and explained directly how they can afford the infrastructure that provides the service. Generally when previously paid stuff becomes free, it's because the paid service is no longer a product - it's now a tool to attract users. How will users be monetised now?
Selling Azure services.

Not even an apology in there, would have expected more from TNW.

>Private repositories on free accounts are limited to three collaborators apiece. So, while this might work for a small project (like, for example, a team competing in a hackathon), it isn’t particularly well-suited for actual commercial usage.
