I do think it's just an ad. Also it's a bad kind of one because 1) it disguises itself as a tip 2) makes people to think if it's an ad for Raycast or other services, when actually it's just promoting itself.
if is paid by and for a 3rd party, is an ad. if not, is a tip.

It is, but Codeberg is only for free and open source projects.
Check out https://codefloe.com for private repos hosted with Forgejo. It is also free and hosted in the EU.
Unhealthy doesn't mean unusable but it sounded great until I checked that.
This "ad" is not exactly new. Looks like MS thinks it's a "tip" rather than an ad. I don't know if Raycast team even knows about this. https://github.com/PlagueHO/plagueho.github.io/pull/24#issue... Copilot has been adding "(emoji) (tip)" thing since May 2025. GitHub copilot was released in May 2025, so basically it has had an ad since beginning.

It seems with the latest "ok we went too far" Win11 patch though, they got some tips back from their users.

I was recently running Copilot CLI in a sandbox on autopilot mode and it kept overriding git config to put only "GitHub Copilot" as commit author instead of my name. Strongly worded instructions weren't helping, I had to resort to the permission system to change this behavior. I wonder if this is consistent with their terms of service. I mean, maybe they DO take all the responsibility for the code I generate and push…
It's possible they are safeguarding for possible future changes of copyright law that would give Microsoft copyright over all Copilot contributions. This may sound paranoid but, as far as I know, exactly who counts as an "AI operator", how much authorship an "AI operator" has, and who gets copyright, or whether AI contributions are even in the public domain, are legally untested and unclear issues.
Because it's nobody's IP, Microsoft is already in a position where they could just use, remix and/or distribute that output however they want to today.

Interesting indeed. I wonder how long GitHub as a platform will be there as a viable option. Anyone who remembers SourceForge?
It will be there for as long as you (and everyone else) keep using it.
