I don't really see any benefit. Let's say I am hosting my app with DigitalOcean, instead of paying egress traffic ($10 per TB) I am now using Cloudflare as a CDN and they will wave the traffic pricing? Seems 1.) not really profitable for Cloudflare and 2.) Cloudflare is not the CDN of my choice because, for example, it isn't reaching DTAG directly, so >50% of Germany has a crippled connection to Cloudflare. The real problem still exists: reaching providers that charge a shit ton for transit.
