Even if that were the case (which we can debate), him being wrong before does not prevent him from being right now. Being de facto banned from the common internet due to centralization is absolutely scary.

It's almost as though sufficiently large communications providers should be regulated as utilities.

I completely agree. I am against Cloudflare and the centralization it implies 100%. I never use it for sites I develop.

I just have no sympathy for Daniel since up until just now he was trying to get everyone to do this.

CloudFlare allows website host to have much finer grain control that would have solved many of these problems - if they pay for it. I see no problem with this.

The hosts aren't blocking him though, it's Cloudflare.

Cloudflare is blocking him because the hosts didn’t configure Cloudflare to not use captcha for sub domains that host non browser traffic like podcast RSS feeds. That was his theory.

That capability is only available for paid CloudFlare plans.
