They are monopolizing and centralizing the Web to the detriment of everyone. You don't need to believe me, though: the free and open Web is on a march toward death, Cloudflare is one of the nails in its coffin, and I will be happy enough to say "I told you so" once the grave is filled.

The decentralized web is broken. You can kick almost any website off the internet after sending $2 to a booter. This leads to centralization.

Though of course CloudFlare protects booters as well, but I'm willing to buy their philosophical argument.

Look at how entrenched the big video players are. If anything this is creating more competition.

And better - if a service that started by using this got large enough, they could spin out on their own with no ties to the original platform.

What can we do to stop it?
