Do you ever go to wikipedia.com? Most people hit most webpages via searching something specific. Sure, you might go to some news, ecommerce, or social media sites landing page, but I've never once thought of going to github's landing page in the last decade... maybe if I suspect an outage, but not to view content.

Ah here is the difference: I maintain a few gh repos and our company works exclusively on github. So in the morning, I open github.com to see notifications (via g-n shortcut).
