I use Linux and it’s free. Am I the product?

Good point. But Linux is not a for-profit enterprise. Sex is free too. At least it is better when it is free.

For the buyer or the seller? The buyer has no incentive to make it good for the seller. The seller has every incentive to make it good for the buyer.
How much experience buying and selling it and getting it to free do you have to make that claim? Can you link to any peer reviewed studies?

CF doesn't use you as the product, a la Facebook, Instagram or Google. They try to lure you in with the free tier, and then upsell.
That's a bussiness model that you might like or not, but almost everyone is doing that one way or the other (first X months are free, free tiers, free Comunity Editions, etc.)
Why you should never use Cloudflare. It causes problems, is bad for SEO and a Spyware tool.

If it is free, then you are the product. If you need a CDN, there are cheap solutions out there. And Pics should always be delivered from your domain, not from CF.
