Does this person telling us not to use polyfill.io, and the guy who sold polyfill.io to the chinese company both work at Fastly? If so, that's kind of awkward...
It appears both currently do work for Fastly. I am pleased the Fastly developer advocate warned us, and announced a fork and alternative hosting service:
Neither of them had ownership of the project, so neither of them were responsible for the sale or benefited from it.
They both simply dedicated a lot of time, care and skill to the project. It's really a shame to see what they spent so much time building and maintaining now being used as a platform to exploit people. I'm sure its extremely disappointing to both of them.
- In mid-February 2024, the polyfillpolyfill account was created on Github, and took ownership over the repo.
So I think sometime between October 2023 and February 2024, JakeChampion decided to sell the site to Funnull. I think the evidence is consistent with him having made a decision to sell the site to _somebody_ in December 2023, and the deal with Funnull closing sometime early February 2024.
