Just because the quote is expensive doesn't make it not a proper quote. Either CloudFlare does it for PR for free or they need paid for a proper quote.
So you want them to be paid in exposure? If a company offers a service that another needs, but doesn't pay for, should they provide the service for free for them? If GitHub goes down, should CF provide the service to them for good PR?
I feel awful for sourcehut, but that doesn't mean that cloudflare should be obliged to support them for free or below cost rates.
Yeah, that post is not at all related to getting a discount from Cloudflare on a product they need to buy from somewhere regardless.
The owner is in general against slowly having all traffic on the internet routed through Cloudflare, but considering that they asked Cloudflare they seem to be interested in that compromise to stay online.
I don't understand how the linked image had anything to do with Cloudflare. Are DDoS attacks happening specifically to marginalized people, and Cloudflare is the techbro getting rich, and Cloudflare is "scanning eyeballs?"
IMO that quote is more about, say, Facebook blimping in internet for parts of Africa. The person posting it here as if the author is against all tech companies seems like a deliberate misinterpretation.
