Does this mean hackernews & cloudflare are colluding together?
A simpler explanation is that users are tired of everybody with a customer support issue running to daddy HN and making a big fuss trying to get their way.
After Twitter went to shit, where else do customers have to go for customer support like this?
Admittedly, I didn't read the article, but I have seen plenty of other cases woth cloudfare or other big providers where people have only been able to set things right by kicking up a fuss on social media
like that recent one with amazon aws.
Don't worry, neither did anyone else in this thread
