WTF has crypto got to do with centralisation of the Internet? The Internet is well-decentralised, but if every Joe Blogg has to put their website behind Cloudflare, it's not the Internet's fault, let alone crypto (?).
Stop putting every-bloody-thing behind Cloudflare, and the problem solves itself. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read of someone on HN seriously saying that they need a CDN for their personal website, or that they really need to use AWS or GCP for that matter. We tech workers have lost the plot, and it's our fault it's all in the hands of the few.
