I don't really understand your point. In 2012 I was working on a startup that was DDoS'd and it was not fun. This was back before Cloudflare offered a DDoS service and we ended up having to hire a random company in Canada to help get us back online. At the time there were surprisingly few people out there offering DDoS mitigation. Cloudflare wanted to help us but they were still in early development for their service, but I remember them being good guys. What's wrong with providing a service to help fight the bad guys?

He is pointing out that cloudflare is also hosting the DDOS sites.

Those are sites that you can go to to pay for a DDOS.

So they are taking money from the people who you are paying them to defend you against.
