Cloudflare (also known as Cuckflare and Crimeflare) is an American botnet disguised as an affordable reverse-proxy and DDoS-mitigation service. Its business model consists of a campaign of intimidation of DDoS attacks against website administrators, against which, suspiciously, only Cloudflare's protection service is effective. The army of servers is kept well-fed by a steady stream of racket sales. Thus the botnet grows, kind of like homosexuals[1].
A website that resorts to those full-page Cloudflare captcha checks is also re-purposed to serve propaganda like "Verifying security..." and "Did you know every third person you meet is actually a botnet?". The goal is to make it appear justified to deny access to most websites VPN and TOR users, objectors to Javascript and generally those who run a functioning web browser but don't conform to however way Cloudflare intends to track you, which puts in cause an openness principle of the World Wide Web, while you believe the connection protection is for your protection.
The Man in the middle
Cloudflare-protected servers are instanced across a vast content-delivery-network, with visitors never interacting with the real server. The unencrypted contents of user's interaction are entirely handled by Cloudflare.

This is functionally a man-in-the-middle attack, but it's passively accepted as a fact of using the internet at this point. From hosting your bank's website to soyjak.party, Crimeflare dominates the CDN market with an 80% share, essentially performing a man-in-the-middle-attack on all of the internet. Some have pointed out the colossal datamining potential of such a position, but the argument loses ground when verified fact-checkers revealed the proponents are dangerous, unmedicated conspiracy theorists.

On soyjak.party
Soot enabled Cloudflare in an attempt to stop Colorjak, CP and other types of spam. At first it was accepted, even with some users starting to defend the decision, calling all the Cloudflare detractors as spammers but it quickly became an annoyance to most users as cloudflare requires you to refresh the page every five minutes. Higher protection modes also block archive sites from taking snapshots.
oh yeah and cloudflare makes it so i can't access the website right now this is retarded kuzzy
