Cloudflares indifference to DDOS-for-hire providers using their service is also raising some eyebrows, considering a large part of their business is mitigating DDOS attacks. Do a search for "stresser" or "booter" services (euphemisms for DDOS-for-hire) and check their DNS records, 9 times out of 10 they're hiding behind Cloudflare.
Intentional or not, helping the attackers stay online while also selling mitigations for their attacks is basically a protection racket.
