MODERATORS
Sounds like CF is just offering it as a service to their customers (e.g. platform/website operators). CF will handle detection and billing, but the money will mostly be going to the website (minus fees, I'm sure they're not doing it for free)
So if it's a content creator running their own website through CF then that money would definitely be going towards them. It gets muddier when it's a platform like say Patreon or big social media.
So Cloudflare's business model is openly the same as a corrupt security guard, somebody who promises to protect your stuff unless they get paid well enough?
this just sounds like a bandaid on a gunshot
If only something could be done about the guy who keeps shooting everyone.
I know, a good guy with a gun! We use AI to stop AI and make the internet unusable!!
I wish people would stop calling it ai.
