    If I had to choose my favourite corporation, it would be Cloudflare. They at least do something good.

        I still think they are good. Isolated incidents like this are going to happen when you are doing business at such scales.

          This did not sound like an isolated incident at all. You don’t get sales responding to a legal/engineering issue by accident. It may have been accidental, if they put too much pressure on sales not realizing how it was corrupting the company, or the leadership may have tacitly approved of this. Hard to tell.

      There seems to be a line, so far as I can tell. If everything you need sits on the free tier, they’re really good (well tbh their R2 storage is reasonably priced too). But once you stray into needing a paid tier, it apparently (I’m not there) quickly gets expensive as you’re lured into every higher tiers.

      But yes, in general I don’t mind cloudflare so much and do use their free (and R2 paid) services.

          This was actually the story I had in mind when I wrote my comment. In my case, I’m using cloudflare for this mbin instance, another unrelated low traffic site, and R2 for the media on the instance. It’s so small that it will never really escape their free tier.

          But yeah, if you’re doing something that is scaling up this is definitely something you need to be aware of.

        They have not given me any reason to hate them which is a win in my books. Apple was my favourite but their policy of region specific features is getting annoying.
