#4Welcome to the Cloudflare-net.
Half the internet is behind CloudFlare now. Since they can't easily "own" the Internet, they could as well own CloudFlare.
Not impressed and I hate all this hiding behind Cloudflare and other proxy services; most of the cases are just hipster/hype powered, rather than in actual need.

#5I am a long-standing CF partner and supporter. This really does not fill me with happy, warm thoughts. I love the CF tech and offering, but am going to be forced to look around for alternatives.

Why?

#10Well, that alone makes the move to CloudFlare even more unlikely at all. More huge investors means more control over what CF does and what CF will do with all the data they see flowing through. Bigest MITM just got bigger, at least financial wise.
Not for me.
