You forgot the biggest threat: CloudFlare
- stavros 3y agoI have a much easier time getting my sites off of Cloudflare than my content off YouTube.
- superkuh 3y agoI can't even read scientific journal articles (on their journal sites) anymore because the big publishers are putting themselves behind cloudflare walls that just don't work in any browser I try. Pretty much my only access these days is waiting years for it to get on sci-hub or in some of the sciences, finding it on arxiv.
- doublerabbit 3y agoIt's ironic: four years ago, everyone was cheering and wooing for CloudFlare. And now four years later we have rebuttal. Strange that. Well, not really. But still. I dislike being the "told you so" guy.
