A thing can be bad for two reasons; to recognize that it's bad because of one of them is not to deny that it's bad for the other.

Agreed - and this is why I find it _so_ frustrating when I try to take a step back (or down, or whichever direction seems most intuitive to you) and actually define terms, only to get met with a "you're just nitpicking about termi

Wow, that is certainly a _huge_ culture shift. It certainly explains why it's not sitting right with me - while I do think that "providers not caus[ing] excessive/unnecessary version churn and ensuring easy upgrade paths&quot

A less cynical way of putting this would be - it's delightful that even non-experts can enjoy learning about technical jargon and the underlying processes they reflect!

Alongside the distaste of the bait-and-switch, I suggest that there's a perception among most folks that what is primarily being paid for is the content, not the services (hosting, transmission, recommendations, etc.). In that sense, p

How can Cloudflare prevent content from being seen? If they stop providing CDN support for a given service, there are plenty of other CDNs - the content is just as accessible to consumers if provided via a different CDN. By contrast, if Goo
