Most likely not worth it. The product that is being impacted is free to begin with, so the more a company invests into it to building custom filters, the more net negative they are spending, and they are not helping customers (free or paying) either. (ie the cryptocurrency miners will never become paying customer, because they are exploiting the platform specifically because it's free, so building filters means spending money to filter out people who will never be customers anyway.)

I'd rather docker spend engineering time on improving their paid service to legitimate customers.
