When I was figuring out how DNS works back 10 years ago, I was told "Why don't you just use 8.8.8.8 everywhere? Why do you need your own DNS server for anyway?" every single time when I asked a very specific configuration question. Some years later 8.8.8.8 was just replaced with 1.1.1.1 with same critical counter questions instead of helping. So, it appears to me, instead of understanding DNS and routing, people and tech-bro businesses take shortcuts by using centralized infrastructure for their systems, creating dangerous configurations. Now, Cloudflare have made a mistake, and half the Internet crumbled down. See the irony?
