This post was definitely demoted by HN. It stayed in the first position for less than 5 minutes and, as it quickly gathered upvotes, it jumped straight into 24th and quickly fell off the first page as it got 200 or so more points in less than an hour.
I'm 80% confident HN tried to hide this link. It's the fastest downhill I've noticed on here, and I've been lurking and commenting for longer than 10 years.
I had to search for it. I was under the impression that HN removed it for some reason.
Does HN has stake in cloudflare?!

yep, it happens every single time a negative story about cloudflare appears
more than a coincidence
That’s why I use hckrnews-com as HN front-end.
