That will be believable if he doesn't win. The fact that it's cloee is absolutely nuts to an outsider.

Can we submit on a website? I can submit a million per day

Well there was someone who was shadow banned on Reddit by mistake for years, and they thought everyone hated them because no one replied or upvoted. So it's not always the best option.

But it's not another website, it would be the web browser within the Facebook app, which could absolutely do that.

So the baddies have more chance of winning, as usual.

Sure, but Google has created a monopoly where no one else can even compete.

Some VPNs use ports 443 or 80 which won't be blocked. There's also some which disguise the traffic to appear as HTTPS. It's a cat and mouse game but I don't see the cat winning.

They steal people's domain names, there have been many reports over the past couple of years. If anyone has a domain with them it's recommended to transfer away. They used to be good, but I assume anyone still recommending them isn't up to date on their behavior.

I can't speak for everyone, but they increase the security and performance of websites for free. I'm sure a lot of people would like to move away from Cloudflare, but every time I try to find an alternative, none of their competitors even come close. Let's say I moved one of my websites to Bunny CDN and transferred 1TB per month, that could increase my website cost by $120 per year.

The sad reality is that Cloudflare can basically do whatever they want until another competitor offers a good free alternative, which is unlikely because Cloudflare has a monopoly. We would effectively be asking millions of websites to pay to use a service with less features.

I'm still looking for a good alternative, so if anyone has one then please let me know.

You don't even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it's on the screen, it's a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.
