    About 20% of global traffic is routed through Cloudflare so unfortunately Cloudflare is very much a massive case of centralization.

    A Cloudflare outage would affect a huge number of websites and services and they have some degree of control over the way you host your and use their services.

      Yeah, did people forget the last big Cloudflare outage already? A good chunk of all big services went down simultaneously. Discord, Amazon, Twitter and even the PS and Xbox consoles networks lmao.

      How long before a website not behind something Cloudflare is considered suspicious or unwanted

          It’s definitely speculation, but I’d say it’s warranted.

          The same thing applies when trying to sign up for a service without a big-name email address.
