If Google or Facebook offered Cloudflare $100B they’d probably have to take it. Add a quick TOS change and we are s-o-l. Hello gigantic super revenue earning centralized ad network (!$!$!).

In all seriousness, I don’t see Cloudflare centralizing the web. I see them decentralizing it by empowering smaller folks with easier tools for scale.

It’s a stretch of argument / not perfect —- but I am glad the competition exists. It makes sense for Cloudflare to be big and privacy focused when competing in the big net real estate space of the modern web.

Decentralising where compute is running but centralising a lot in terms of technologies and actors. While the first is about efficiency, the later is about freedom and resiliency.

Yep. I see your point (it is an exhausted but not invalid argument hence the CEO’s comment above) and just disagree. Time will tell!

Cloudflare's core asset is the trust. Sure, it's possible to capitalize on that, but then the game is over. I think everyone is aware of that.
