I still believe that CloudFlare means well, but that doesn't mean that I agree with the increased centralization. This isn't the fault of CloudFlare, they are just exploiting a business opportunity and as you say: At least they're not selling ads.
It is a legitimate business, from my perspective. I'd just wish we weren't in a situation where CloudFlare isn't exactly struggling to sell their services.
- motorest 1y ago> I still believe that CloudFlare means well, but that doesn't mean that I agree with the increased centralization. I'm perplexed by this sort of comment. Cloudflare doesn't even feature in the top 10 of cloud provider market share, and the number 8 spot already reports 2%. And here you are, complaining about Cloudflare and centralization. Furthermore, AWS is by far the biggest cloud provider, reporting around 30% market share, and I don't see AWS being referred as a concern.
