Maybe my previous post might have not been especially nuanced for the sake of illustration. The point is: Tor is trying to provide a useful service that requires it to be very hard to block abuse, yet as you say: the publish their list of exit nodes and everyone is free to block them. CloudFlare on the other hands, could extremely easily respond to abuse requests the same way that almost every other legitimate network service provider responds to them: investigate abuse by their users and terminate malicious users. You misunderstood: corporations taking money for services is excellent. Corporations continuing to provide service for criminals even after they've been notified of, and have acknowledged that they are hosting problematic customers mixed in with their legitimate customers is extremely problematic. They're not evil, they have responsibility.
