There are a lot of hypotheticals here. I think you'll convince CloudFlare, and their customers, if you could name names and mention specific examples?

If you are a price comparison site getting blocked by cloudflare, site owners may be losing sales, and that's good feedback.

Or site owners may actively want to block a price comparison site..

Depending on the industry, etc..

Agreed on this point, and most companies who would want to do these sorts of things would restrict it even if Cloudflare didn't exist.

I really can't think of a good solution. But that's the tricky position Cloudflare is in - how does it balance everything.

Price comparison example: https://shucks.top/ sometimes gets blocked by cloudflare. Most recent was getting blocked from checking B&H.
