    Yeah this post is nearly upsettingly ignorant.

    Cloudflare is just about the only big internet company out there objectively doing good things for the Internet.

      Maybe their point is just privatisation or something.

      For example a dns provider like cloudfare just could artificially make latency costs for servers that don’t agree with something cloudfare does bigger, which would result in them being less likely to be displayed in a search result because a search engine would have IP adresses faster from other servers. This obviously depends on if a search engine makes dns requests or just provides hostnames for the end user.

      This seems like saying road construction makes driving objectively worse or security guards make a stadium venue objectively worse.
