I would argue a nightmare for most.

Turning everything into a microtransaction / subscription is destroying what was good about the internet.

Advertising and all the anti-patterns it incentivizes are worse.If the payments are very low and frictionless this could be very good for the internet - as long as Cloudflare is only the first and not the only.

Depends what you compare it to. If the alternative is buying a subscription to get past a paywall, it might be better?

  • Ads, especially personalized ads, are the alternative that powers much of the open internet.

    More options are great.
