I'm of a similar mindset... yeah, it's inconvenient when "everything" goes down... but realistically so many things go down now and then, it just happens.

Could just as easily be my home's internet connection, or a service I need from/at work, etc. It's always going to be something, it's just more noticeable when it affects so many other things.

To be honest, it's MUCH easier to have one source to blame when things go down. If a small-medium vendor's website goes down on a normal day, so poor IT guy is going to be fielding calls all day.

If that same vendor goes down because Cloudflare went down, oh well. Most already know and won't bother to ask when your site will be back up
