Maybe cloudflare is cheap because itโ€™s a government front.

This a theory I heard today thatโ€™s got me pondering.

Feds have offices in every datacenter. Doesn't require cloudflares involvement. I'm not sure I ever saved the podcast episode that actually had some evidence for that. And most of yall out here on nostr are using it to pass all of our traffic through. Nostr isn't private but still we don't need to hand them our data.

It's cheap because it's subsidized by stonk investors

They used to be in the business of running honey pots so go figure... ๐Ÿค”

Cloudflare was founded in July 2009 by Matthew Prince, Lee Holloway, and Michelle Zatlyn. Prince and Holloway had previously collaborated on Project Honey Pot, a product of Unspam Technologies that served as some inspiration for the basis of Cloudflare. From 2009, the company was venture-capital funded.

Cloudflare is sketchy
