That is absolutely what I want, and I appreciate your contribution to the debate.
> you're forced to use words like "smear", "parasite"
I'm just trying to use fewer words, because people's attention spans are really short these days, which naturally requires the words to have more dense and intense meaning.
> it's so much easier to lambast someone
It's not easy, it's hard. People are refusing to accept that corporations are not your friends. Have you ever tried criticizing Apple?
My critique is specifically that the article:
1) presumes that Docker Hub should provide the service, despite clearly not responding to their application for free service.
2) then uses an article that invites peer pressure onto the company to get what they want.
Instead, I argue that it would be healthier if they:
1) explained why relying on Docker Hub is dangerous
2) what the alternatives are, and why they're not good enough
3) what needs to change, which may include consumer behavior - things that we control, because we really don't have control over Docker Hub.

By collectively perpetuating our dependence on them, we are engaged in self-enslavement.
And I think this type of article is a form of begging that our masters haven't given us enough breadcrumbs lately.
