This doesn't pass the sniff test. From the actions Cloudflare took and their communication, it's very clear that there was something about the way their services were used that they were unhappy about. The post doesn't include what that problem was, but I have a very hard time believing that the author was not in the know and just got their account nuked without any further commentary, especially after being in a number of calls with real human beings from Cloudflare. Surely they'd have plenty of room to both ask and tell to figure out what the issue is. More than anything, this sounds like they knowingly did something shady and are now trying to shift the blame.
So CF is ok with shady for 10k but not for .25k?
Isn’t that a tale as old as the internet? Hosting adult traffic is painful in all respects, and they get a premium for it.
CF was more than happy to help, but .25k wasn’t a number that solved all the problems.
Maybe... Same ratio: I might be ok to do shady stuff for 100k a month, but not 2.5k a month
