Yeah, I'll let a company I don't do business with dictate who I actually do business with just because of their money interests. I don't like or use Cloudflare, I believe they are not good for the internet due to how centrali

We can call it "abuse of market position" then. The United States' Federal Trade Commission[^1] sued Amazon in 2023 with this pretext. In Germany, the Federal Cartel Office fined Amazon[^2] 59 million euro (68.7 millions US d

The problem is "markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent". It doesn't matter when the bubble pops if the governments (especially the US') bail those companies out. The damage is already being done, wh
