 How is CloudFlare able to not charge for bandwidth?

 @7e00ff73 CloudFlare isn't a profitable company. Their bandwidth is paid for by investor money and has been for ages.

Eventually investors will stop (most likely now when the economy is going to hell) and they have to make money, and turn corrupt. which is why you should keep as far away from it as possible before it happens.

This is the same chain of events that recently happened to sites like Reddit
