Also, interesting comment I found on HackerNews (HN):

This post was definitely demoted by HN. It stayed in the first position for less than 5 minutes and, as it quickly gathered upvotes, it jumped straight into 24th and quickly fell off the first page as it got 200 or so more points in less than an hour.

I'm 80% confident HN tried to hide this link. It's the fastest downhill I've noticed on here, and I've been lurking and commenting for longer than 10 years.

Yet more evidence that CloudFlare is inherently damaging and hostile to the Internet.

Not a huge surprise, they've got a long history of doing all kinds of scumbag shit. Nobody should be surprised when the leopard eats their face.

  1. what is HN? Edit: never mind, answered below: hacker news (ycombinator)
  2. daaamn... I hated cloudflare before for their shitty and non-adblocker-compatible (often not working at all) "I am not a bot" checks, but fuck me are those EVIL motherfuckers....

You think we're hitting that point where line go up must wreck lives?
