I don't get the point of asking people on some forum or similar to upvote a feature request. If it is an useful feature, people will naturally upvote.

It only has 60 days and who is regularly browsing feature requests to up vote?
OMG, vs code uses such a god awful system to choose which feature to implement?
My guess is that ultimately it's to help deflect spam requests. Team is probably the ultimate decision makers but they need some way of defusing the onslaught of requests. I think dedicated user feedback platforms are usually better for that sort of thing but that's additional service maintenence and they probably want to use github as much as possible for everything.
I don't the point of advertising. If you make a good product, people will naturally buy it.
You're probably not wrong if I'm completely honest, but this feels intrinsically wrong to my capitalist-addled brain. Something to work on I guess
No.
