Help me understand what you mean: my service ok particular wouldn’t be ddosed because nobody cares.

I guess bots are hitting CF IPs at large and therefore services might be disrupted?

Well, every service that gets ddosed was once a service that nobody cared about.

But if your service is in a category that attracts ddos (like a forum or game) and you ever get enough traction for someone to care (doesn’t take much), it might surprise you how cheap it is to take you down and how limited your options are against a simple volumetric attack.
