    My negative experiences as an end user take priority over any positive experience told to me by a third party in a usage case that doesn’t apply to me.

      Most of the time that a site is using Cloudflare you’ve likely not noticed and it has improved your experience.

        Normal users only really notice if the site is actually being attacked and therefore has enabled some checks. You will then not be able to use wget or so, but it’s better than the site being down or unusably slow due to the attack.

      Your experience as an end user is only available because cloudflare exists. That’s why your end user opinion doesn’t matter, because bad actors are constantly trying to ruin the internet and cloudflare is the gatekeeper. As a server owner I need security at the door to keep our illegal activity. Your opinion of “I don’t like security at the door” is dually noted and immediately thrown away.

        “You only know about the bad thing because the bad thing exists” what a compelling argument. Did you know water makes things wet because it’s wet?
