But the incentives to monetize the site ever more aggressively is probably the most important factor.&lt;p&gt;Ads and bundling malware (here: unwanted software) with downloads won&amp;#x27;t be received very well. The malware even had a negative influence on projects themselves. Example I know of was filezilla, which many never used or trusted again.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t know if you can compare sourceforge with github because the former was also used by many to get ready-to-use binaries where github is more exclusive to developers and peers.</text></comment>
