Another great #FOSDEM talk from Michael Winser at @openssf / #AlphaOmega about the terrible economics of package registries like #NPM #maven #PyPi #RubyGems #crates

https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/8WJKEH-package-registry-economics/

Some charts from different registries are at https://go.xwind.io/registry-research-report

The slide below is a take on some of the common "solutions" that people come up with for funding registries (also applicable to non-registry products with large numbers of downloads) and what might happen if you choose them
