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.

Is there any special evidence to suggest this service will exist a year from now?
Lol Google spent over a billion dollars building out their cloud offerings, just last year. The silly cynical view on HN that everything Google runs goes away doesn't apply to their multi-continent multi-billion dollar cloud business.
I believe the GCP stuff is relatively stable, at least nothing we're using has disappeared so far over about 3 years (several have been renamed and consolidated, though, but without breaking anything already existing)
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
