Context: After evaluating the DockerHub Verified Publisher Program and receiving a mail with “it costs as little as $5k per year” I have come to the conclusion that it’s not worth it
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
To be fair, they are providing several services with it, along with the data hosting. Being verified also means you get boosted in search results, with comes with more downloads. So at least the cost can be somewhat justified. Whether it’s too much is valid for debate.
The fact that paid images get boosted in search results, instead of good images, is just bad IMO
This doesn’t justify the price for me, this justifies getting rid of this system
