As a bit of a meta point it’s a bit astonishing how good Cloudflare is at PR and community management. The sentiment I’ve seen here in the past is overwhelmingly pro-Cloudflare. Every now and then they’ll publish a hit piece on AWS here and there’ll be an AWS hate thread, but no one seems to question Cloudflare’s motives for promoting bad press about their competitor directly to their target market.
Then again in most things, the underdog trying to upstage the incumbent is always a popular narrative. You’re right that talking about it likely isn’t going to change any sentiment.
- throwaway2847 4y agoHN is like any other community and is thoroughly captured by some hype machines (Cloudflare, the language that shall not be named) and virulently opposed to others (cryptocurrency)

- groffee 4y ago> it’s a bit astonishing how good Cloudflare is at PR and community management It's really not, look at any cloudflare support thread here and how they crawl out of the woodwork for damage control because they failed in basic customer service it's a huge red flag, and everyone in the comments always sees it. cloudflare is cancer and needs to die.
