Why exactly do you want to go to a competitor? CloudFlare is fantastic and they have a lot of Free services

1. CEO is an ass.

2. Supports Booters, script kiddies, and pay-to-play blackhat hackers

3. Fucks over Tor any chance they can get.

    I'm not sure I see this from your perspective; multiple people in the crowd clap after your point "C", and much more clapping is heard when he sits down. If I were forced to classify the behavior (edit:specifically at 48:08) I would choose "smartass". The entire discussion is interesting in light of what happened recently with Uber/Kalanick.

      I was listening to the booing, shouts of disbelief and guffawing (and clapping) when he gave his zinger about journalists.

      He was invited on stage, and continually berates Krebs. He could have did that graciously, but instead continually insults. He admits that when the Booters do pay, they're paid with stolen CCs. And then, finally attacks Krebs' standing as a Journalist.

      Uh, no. Absolutely not. No way, no how.

      I'll deal with Google, Amazon, Microsoft.. Whomever for a CDN. I'm not touching CloudFlare.

No matter how fantastic and benevolent a company is at the moment, they always need competition to keep them in check and on their toes.
