That’s cool and all but don’t lowball people. This was the first thing Cloudflare has done in years that I didn’t associate with something shitty until I saw this.

Just for once do the right thing rather than what you think you can get away with because overall this is a genuinely something to be celebrated.

They clearly offered enough to be worth it to enough people to take out Sable. If being part of a successful effort to take down a patent troll is its own reward and Cloudflare successfully coordinated the work to make that happen, I'm really failing to see the problem.

They offered enough to get some activity happening which viewed strictly through the lens of capitalism and quarter to quarter balance sheets is +10 points no question.

That’s not what I’m talking about here though.

That's not what I'm talking about either, so I'm glad we're on the same page.
