I'm aware of this, CF can be very granular, but businesses do not on average have the know-how or bandwidth to properly setup their rules to not come off like a...holes. So the effect is that most businesses behind CF come off like a...holes. My point is CF does not seem very interested in coming up with a better solution, like maybe a list of CF managed WAF profiles that work well and don't make both the businesses and CF seem like they do not care. Those profiles could be paid. And yes! it's better to buy local, and Africa can't blame the US because our economy isn't there, and we aren't building all the things we should be building. But that is an entirely different discussion isn't it?

They do offer different profiles! By default the security is pretty sane, and offer many easy to choose default sets. Businesses actually have to go out of their way to make a custom country block via a custom page rule. So when you see a site block you, that's because that specific business chose to customize their rules specifically to block you. That's not Cloudflare's fault.
