I have heard that they rather drastically constrain QoS instead, which does sound reasonable. So you are still not charged for abusive traffic, but your service will be much slower than what is actually possible with paid tiers.

So you'd be either slow or pay them "for protection". Something that reminds me of;)

Capitalism? Mob-style "protection" would be if Cloudflare were the ones who DDoSed you if you didn't pay.

How naive if you think the mob would disclose when it's affiliates trash your shop.

Yeah. Instead Cloudflare hosts the websites of DDoS sellers and refuses to take them down or tell you who they are. A lot of these DDoS-for-hire services use Cloudflare to hide their real IP.
