AI scrapes internet from millions of IPs worldwide proving an orchestrated, intelligent, botnet effectually becoming a large percentage of total internet traffic overnight. Internet responds by retreating to behind a single cloud provider who can mysteriously keep ai at bay... Same provider network is probably responsible for the near instantaneous distribution of AI traffic to begin with. Internet's last bastion of…

Cloudflare was already a thing before AI scrapers

And they were strongly suspected to DDoS their prospective customers, so they would suddenly have a need to buy DDoS protection.

Paris Cloudflare Error

Cloudflare yet again making the internet a shittier place. I will never understand why so many people willingly allow their website to be MiTM’d by this garbage company.

Then I suppose you know a better alternative when your site is being effectively DDOSed by a ridiculously high volume of scrapers. Please share.

E.g. https://www.fastly.com/

But Cloudflare has the best marketing of all of them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

iirc isn't steam also on fastly? I vaguely remember their stack to either include fastly or they're using fastify. Names...

I think Steam uses akamai, at least for user-generated content

There are so many CDNs, they have existed since the internet was just for porn. The problem is they are not as easy to use for today's novice webdev with zero knowledge of how to administer or even research infrastructure beyond the stack specs.

Seems to be correct

I don't think the issue is a skill one but rather giving a sane option.

Going to Akamai's site I don't see a single mention of pricing, I don't want to be smooched by some enterprise salesman to get my pricing options.

Going to Fastly's site I see egress costs that makes me think I could probably be better of just staying on AWS,Azure or smth and have a single bill to care about. (That have their own expensive options).

There's probably other small players with sane options pricing wise, but when it comes to managing DDoS issues people want someone big to handle the bulk.
