This is the most convoluted conspiracy theory I've read so far this decade. You profess not to believe these theories, or at least not the first one. So why then repeat? It's just more untruths poisoning this debate, like any other going on these days. And how does Cloudflare get the blame in your telling of this story, when it's your unnamed sources "you've heard" believing paranoid stories? DDOS were a thing before Cloudflare, and the incident numbers haven't much changed. So if it's Cloudflare doing it all now, they must have simultaneously convinced everyone else to stop. The idea that their salespeople showing up when you're under attack is similarly strange: While I might agree that it feels somewhat creepy, is there any doubt that these things are easy to notice with some saved twitter searches and a google alert? It also strikes me as a potentially quite useful sales tactic. And yet, even though it's feasible and effective, they are supposed to forgo that channel to stop others from engaging in obviously flawed reasoning?
