 Nostr relays have been attacked by DDoS and bots in the past. Provide a solution to that instead of shaming relay operators from your ivory tower. 
 Fund me and I will create a solution. I don't work for free.

 I am not in an easy situation. Would do it for fun if I could.

 everyone knows real Nostr devs work for free 💁🏻‍♂️ 
 Your answer is equivalent to a fat person saying, “all that’s in front of me is this chocolate bar”

There are MANY options.  First of all there’s other CDNs, Bunny accepts Bitcoin.

There’s others that accept government money, Akamai, CDN77, Fastly, StackPath, even fucking Verizon bro.  Any random cunt can rent a server and do it, why do you have to bow allegiance to ONE AND ONE ONLY company on your “decentralized” network?

Then that’s just the regular CDNs, then you got the cryptocurrency based ones covered in this article,

And there's even more crypto ones doing docker containers not covered. 
 Yours is essentially a strawman as I did not say Cloudflare was the only solution.

But I am glad you did exactly what I told @nostrdev should do: provide solutions instead of shaming relay operators. 
 Those are not solutions, those are alternatives to the most problematic actor. The problem remains the same.
