You can pay for hosting or self host it and get all that. What did being distributed do that?

What's the benefit of a distributed git host? Are you just trying to distribute the storage costs?

It feels really exploitive to me. I worry about anorexia and the psychological damage to those young performers. It's like the 90s in the US, you know?

The virtual stuff might be better tbh
