Those issues are absolutely worth discussing, in a reasonable way. Cloudflare isn't the bad actor perpetuating these DDoS attacks, and they aren't forcing website operators to use their services either.

They don't need to be a bad actor. They just need to be big enough and follow their incentives.

Companies aren't binary good or bad. They go through a lifecycle. Today's young and scrappy startup fighting for the people and the CEO making house calls is tomorrow's big tech with AI chat support.

It's worth noting where a company is in its lifecycle, and what the world is likely to look like if it continues to grow.

How do we know that? Who else benefits from most of them?
