I can think of a bunch of stuff they released, but none that have impacted the world. I can think of some partly positive impact, which is that my bar for bullshit has to go up because words are cheap now, and so is ""graphics"".
Some other fun impacts they've made is irreversible environmental damage, beautifully detailed in their IPO. Fossil fuel reliance and and water scarcity in the big '26 is probably the most "fuck you" move you could've done, and zero sustainability plans. at least Cloudflare tries to pretend theyre sustainable (and frankly they do invest in green energy).
