"Adobe" and ___ "Intuit Turbo Tax" and ___ The brain automatically fills these up for me, Cloudflare isn't close (yet?)
They have plenty of dark patterns, mind you, but post-paid usage-costed cloud services have so much more potential to mess you up.

Cloudflare support being terrible and non-helpful? Say it aint so /s Seriously though, it feels like support exists as a hurdle to get to engineering. I have never had a serious issue that was resolved by support. I miss when customer engineers or customer support actually was treated like a value add part of the business.
I wonder why they used an image platform specify and not just s3 or other data storage.
- Opportunistically serve more efficient image formats when browsers support them without converting/storing
- Cropping and resizing without needing to build your own compute to do it (no creating and storing thumbnails)
- Watermarking on the fly (e.g., on cropped images)
You could absolutely build it all yourself, but tying it all together with your CDN and handling user uploads safely and doing auth (so users can't, for instance, just remove a watermark) isn't very easy, and it's nice to have a managed service that just does the thing.
That's literally their business model.
