Yeah, I quit reading when I get the unblockable full page ad asking me about paying 50 dollars for a Go course. Good spam bot.

I did not get such an ad on my end? And this browser has no blockers of any kind. I scrolled through it in its entirety.

Appears after a while. Not based on scrolling, as far as I can tell.

So you know I'm not lying... https://ibb.co/v43sMXv

It's not actually unskippable, but on mobile you have to zoom out to click the X at top right.

I wouldn’t call that an ad, but even then I never had it trigger. Must’ve hit a JavaScript error on my end or something.

I tried running Go HTTP servers bare to the internet (after Cloudflare promoted doing so in a blog post), but went back to using a reverse proxy the next time.

The main benefit seems to be convenience. I can upgrade and graceful-restart nginx instead of having to rebuild and redeploy the Go server (involving a full app restart). Not having to worry about goroutine leaks because some jerk decided to send the request line @ 1 byte/sec is just an added bonus.

I’m not sure if I consider that an ad, but I got the same after scrolling way down. I’m on Mobile Safari.

CloudFlare itself offers request buffering, so you should be good on that front.
