People are wary about how internet got more and more centralized behind cloudlare. If you’re ever getting caught in cloudlare’s captcha hell because they flag your IP as suspicious, you’ll get wary too because you suddenly realized how big cloudlare now when half of the internet suddenly ask you to solve cloudlare captcha.

Lemmy.world had to start using CloudFlare because some script kiddies were DDOSing it. Some people were complaining that it encourages centralization, etc.
Personally, I love it. The service you get even at the lowest level of payment ($20/mo) is great. And what you get for free can’t be compared.
Wait, why do people like to dump on CloudFlare? I must be out of the loop.

He actually looks at others’ opinions and weighs the pros and cons unlike almost everyone here on lemmy.
