ok how do I punish cloudflare -- build my own globally-distributed content-delivery network just for myself so that I can be "decentralized"?

Or should I go to one of their even-larger competitors like AWS or GCP?

What exactly do you propose?

you are not a customer of cloudflare.

You need to be punishing the services you "paid" to use, but had downtime. So did you terminate any of those services for downtime, or had any sort of punishment done to them as a result?

Ok but the price I am paying includes some % of downtime in the SLA, and I am ok with that.

If I wanted 100.00000% uptime, I would have to pay much more, but I don't want to

Why not just boycott CDNs like Cloudflare and instead host your website on a decentralized network like Bluesky (https://danielmangum.com/posts/this-website-is-hosted-on-blu...) or IPFS (https://pinme.eth.limo/) for free?
