I am getting fucking sick and tired of a “service” that behaves so much like hostile malware and spyware that it gratuitously trips the protections I have added to my browsers and refuses to let me proceed.
Cloudflare is the CP of the Internet: almost no-one wants it, yet it persists like maggots eating the eyes of children.
TLDR:
free users make Cloudflare’s network smarter
free users create massive scale
some free users eventually become enterprise customers
and the huge traffic volume lowers Cloudflare’s own infrastructure costs.
For example, you probably don't need the extra finance person from the start-up you brought on.
