You're right that I didn't check them. I said that.
It's like doing research for colo, like my example. If you have the need, then a couple of hours of research is well worthwhile. I don't have the need, so I'm not going to do it now, but that's how one starts.
The colo example is apt - colo providers that don't have pricing are invariably too expensive, so I skip them, but there are plenty of others to check out that aren't Cloudflare. The one article I skimmed even says whether the providers are pricy or affordable.
Nobody needs Cloudflare. If (most) people were aware of how much Cloudflare breaks visibility across the world, they'd likely avoid Cloudflare, too.
I would avoid cloudflare and i did this research before; there simply aren't any affordable competitors. That is why everyone keeps coming back to them.
