Ahhh software sales wise... I disagree mate.
If the developers know you've been making some good software, they've got the funds and you've got the repositories.
See I'm thinking of them as the backlink yeah, but the amount of different paid and unpaid Laravel/CMS systems I've come across and nearly paid for in the past week or two!
What do you think

Useful for reputation management, I guess.

Yesss, see with cloning or using frameworks from Github you're often left a display message on your CLI saying for example "Like using Livewire? Give our repository a share".
With that repository linking to great, cheap and effective repositories like a newsfeed.
Bit of websites impressions, few social posts and a Discord then lining things up like that would be beautiful for recignition.
-then again, I'm known for thinking 15 steps too far into things.

not to mention properties like Github get indexed quickly and usually rank pretty high in SERPs.

So from there we could go the Producthunt.com route to monetise some software... It's a great place for us marketers! Lol.

I think it's better to leave github out of the scoop, and I hope you fail to see that your scam plan is bad for new dev generation

From a dev perspective, I like the feature. Also liking the fact that I can show my private contributation stats (just stats.. don't worry it is not gonna show the repos themselves). Personally, 99.9% of the code I have done in my career is private lol.

If a ranking system comes into play with the whole achievements things, think of it from folks on my end trying to find examples/tutorials and/or explanations.
Essentially we know who's talking shit with these achievements.

Correct. It might help in deciding one repo over another. Still early days though.

There's that old law of internet marketing: every social or reputational feature introduced in a website will, without exception, be converted into a BST.

I've landed a few dozen clients just by posting a demo code on github and write a really really really good readme.md. It actually ranks #6 on google for what I was targeting.
I also use my github profile when I job hunt, as it shows your experience better than a resume does.
