"CF is trying to double dip: they are charging users for their CDN, and now they try to also charge for the privilege of accessing their user's content."

Don't forget that cloudflare provides service to the very botnets and flooders/booters they purport to protect against.

Would that be triple-dipping ? Or do we have a special term for this specific behavior ?

and where is the evidence???

Cloudflare (it was news to me! why are CF assets actively reaching out to my infrastructure since I'm not a customer?) provides anonymization infrastructure to alleged VPN users. A data point. Doesn't mean they don't make an effort to screen abuse, but it's an open question (based on traffic to my site) how good that is. I'm also not convinced I should believe they don't use that traffic for their own purposes because "Simon says so".

Yes, it’s called tripping.
