Corporations acting as if naive is a bit of problem in reality. For one thing, CF is probably the largest entity serving pirated content internationally while hiding the identities of actual perpetrators for privacy.
Same here: CF is basically giving malicious actors an ability to ship contents/data publicly while laundering the legal responsibility of those actors.
Now tell me what is cool

That's awesome, glad to hear it

Not immediately being a copyright bootlicker.
The fact that you went straight to "BuT pIrAtEs" already shows who you actually care: Corpos, not people.
A dirty secret is that piracy is being abused by criminal organizations[1]. When people unknowingly access such sites to see contents for free, it generate ad revenue for those organizations, which can fund other crimes.

Piracy is cool. Information wants to be free.
I hate the corporate bootlicking that is so prevalent here.
What about centralizing the internet like Cloudfare is doing? Once corporate greed starts creeping we will find ourselves on the verge of pay per visit a website
You mean centralizing the web? Doesn't bother me. Most of the web is a dumpster fire of AI slop anyway.
There's more to the Internet than the world wide web, though. NNTP and IRC communities remain vibrant, if diminished in size
