Tech is full of ironies. 5 years ago cloudflare was held as the savior of internet. People in HN and tech in general put them on pedestal. 1.1.1.1, generous ddos protection, cdn, adn to name a few.

Fastforward to today, they being hated foe bringing down the internet, compared to failing giants.

I think it is a reminder that evil and good recides within oneself.

Their entire business model is effectively centralizing the web. The downtime over the last two weeks shows some of the problem with that.

I have used their products and have more favor toward them than I do for the corporations you're referring to, but ultimately my question is the same.

They are already? See the football debacle in Spain. It's not their fault, legally and technically, but if everything wasn't centralized by them, it wouldn't happen.

I thought they were already on that list.

I hate them a bit already, but beyond bringing down parts of the internet from time to time and occasional captchas, they are not an everyday annoyance like Google, Microsoft, and the rest.
