good content, but: why has it has become popular to use github in this manner? to create a repo for what is essentially a blog post?

I suspect it's so that people can contribute to the list through the pull request functionality that Github offers?

They could at least set it up to use Github pages then.

Then you could access http://openblockchains.github.io/awesome-ico-truths

I'm the author / editor. Done. Works now with Github pages too. Cheers. Prost.

Looks good! Thanks!

As an added benefit, the pages version loads much faster than loading GitHub itself!

I'm the author. Why not a blog post? The idea is that the page is not frozen / done and gets updated (from time-to-time) and, yes, you (in theory) can contribute too. In practice doesn't really happen.
