As long as you route ALL your traffic through Cloudflare...
- To be fair that's a separate issue. Ideally we should have something Cloudflare like but decentralized
How are they going to turn a profit if they can't use copyrighted works OR scrape for free? 🥺
- As opposed to giving all that unencrypted traffic to Cloudflare and letting them make money from it?
  
  Idk what you mean, I was making a shit post. Cloudflare does tls termination?
This seems like a great idea, charge those shitty scrapers!
Honestly that's not the worst idea I've heard
