MinIO stops distributing free Docker images

It's absolutely stunning that people actually defend this behaviour!

The community is having an outrage - and rightfully so - about a silently discontinued artifact delivery at a very critical time. Which is their opinion and every human being is entitled to have their own opinion and state it openly.

It is also perfectly fine to expect a standardised behaviour to continue.

However, what is most important is that is perfectly fine to shame an open source product for pulling features and money grabbing people after years of gathering community and locking them in.

I don't understand the point. The entire raison d'être of this project is that you self-host it and don't pay money for S3 and control your supply chain.

If you are denied this possibility — it is much easier just to use S3.
