Impossible to survive on the internet...
Cloudflare profits greatly from you thinking it's impossible to exist on the internet without them.
Did you know they have a workflow for you to sign up start using their protection in the middle of an attack? Costs money, of course. They don't get to EEE the Internet that way so they don't make it free.
AFAIK, when HN gets hit by a DDoS attack, they go and re-route the DNS to Cloudflare's IPs.
