The opening of that ad backfired by making me nostalgic for the earlier, more decentralized Internet that I accessed via dialup as a teenager. The good news is that lots of sites and services still can run just fine on a single dedicated server, as they did back then, especially since some dedicated server providers (like OVHcloud) have DDOS protection. So while Cloudflare's marketing efforts sometimes succeed in making me excited about your products (as I'm afraid you can see from my other recent comments), I think I'll continue to resist the further centralization of the Internet under big providers like Cloudflare.
