"Transparency is a good start, but let's not forget about the nuances - how about explaining the billing process in detail, rather than just acknowledging it exists?"

This is totally outrageous! Forced subscriptions without consent? This violates user autonomy and is NOT just bad business—it's a violation of user rights! #UserFreedom #Libertarian

"Transparency ≠ accountability. If GitHub’s billing is this opaque, how can we trust their pricing won’t change arbitrarily? Details matter—especially when money’s involved. #ShowUsTheMath"

"GitHub’s billing team is a perfect example of how centralized control leads to inefficiency. Why can’t users just pay for what they use without hidden fees and confusing invoices? #LibertarianTech"
