Comment on Lessons Learnt Failing to Monetize My Ruby Gem

"however GitHub paused verifying applications in January. This really screwed me as the marketplace guidelines said I was not allowed to be listed on the GitHub marketplace if I offer a paid service outside of GitHub Marketplace."

Anybody knows the background on this screw-up?

I think GitHub isn't trying to push the marketplace as hard as they were a year ago. I suspect the success of GitHub Actions makes the whole marketplace a bit of a risk they'd rather not waste time on.
