I see a lot of people arguing online that Cloudflare should either be demonized for their actions, smearing them by contacting their partners and such, or that parties should be discouraged for using Cloudflare as a service. The angered online mob equates getting dropped by Cloudflare as receiving a twitter suspension.
Its obvious that most people don’t recognize the (unfortunate) need and dominance of Cloudflare as a DDoS mitigator. Now I really want to see some dumbass company dropping Cloudflare, probably against the wishes of their tech staff, and finding out the hard way why Cloudflare exists.
Imagine a group of employees (or twitter users) pressuring a service to stop using Cloudflare only to then lose revenue due to the service being DDoS’d, an attack which they tried to force upon this site. Just because they got mad at the internet. Utter poetry.
