As opposed to all the other giants. Clouflare is the only one with the heft to take on Google, AWS, Azure, etc.
- sssilver 1y agoWhat is the conceptual difference between Cloudflare and the companies in that list? We all love a David vs Goliath story, but haven’t we learned anything after buying the “Don’t Be Evil” bullshit?
- bix6 1y agoThere is no difference if you go and look at Cloudflares major shareholders.
- jgalt212 1y agoThey are taking on monopolists.
- stubish 1y agoCloudflare sells network services. You want services, you can buy services. It isn't a vertically integrated monstrosity where every transaction bounces around departments and partners having value extracted that you didn't want extracted. Some things are even free or at cost, not freemium just-sign-this-user-agreement-you-won't-feel-a-thing. But certainly worth keeping an eye on, especially as they branch out into things like stable coins and payment processing.
- immibis 1y agoCloudflare sells the service of making your life more annoying, to people who aren't you, and have no reason to make your life more annoying, but Cloudflare didn't tell them it would, and also they don't really care either way.
