looks like there will be some bots that pull images on a periodic basis cropping up

Why not just pay this 60$/year? I mean if it's something important then it's worth paying for. If not - there is cheaper storage available when one can archive their containers.

  • Everyone should just start using Googles Cloud Build service IMO, it will cost you pennies. You can literally just do a `docker build -t gcr.io/project/image:0.0.1` and it will automatically tar up and send your build directly to their build service and create the container. It's about the cheapest and easiest build service I've seen.

  • Not a lot of money for a viable company, but it might be prohibitive if you're the main contributor to a smaller open source project, and that money will have to come out of your own pocket.

  • I agree it’s probably better to just pay, but certainly if it’s that cheap to circumvent then people will do it to save $60

Yep, everybody will have a small scheduled Github Action pulling their image once per month or similar ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
