I also can't help but laugh at Lucas for thinking he's somehow responsible for their stock taking a 7% drop, when if you zoom out and view their stock price history it's been remaining relatively steady for the past year, lmao.
lolwut? Is he serious? A 7% drop is peanuts. Zoom back a
week and you'll see when they announced better-than-expected quarterly results last week and their stock shot up 22% in one day. It was their first ever quarter where they broke even (they were expecting a loss of $0.01 per share and break-even next quarter, but they're growing faster than anticipated (as is their paying customer list) and so they're heading into profitability now). A "correction" of 7% after an absurd jump like that is practically expected.
This faggot is an absolute mong for thinking a twitter tantrum by the rainbow brigade is going to have
any impact on their stock price. Nobody knows who Cloudflare even is until they realize they need the kind of services Cloudflare offers, and they earn so much goodwill by providing a no-strings-attached free tier that's not shit (unlike AWS) you could probably blast a 4k video of Cloudflare employees dousing puppies in gasoline and kicking them into a flame bit on a big screen in Times Square and you'd still be hard-pressed to chase off a paying customer with it.
Cloudflare rather infamously banned Stormfront from their service, and the only reason why it was noteworthy is that it was the first (and so far
only) time they've actually banned a customer (paying or not) on the grounds of "unsavory content," and the head honcho posted a long-winded groveling apology for having to do it. If their stock price didn't drop from
that incident and the standard-procedure censorship controversy it started, it's not going to drop because a handful of trannies got mocked on a forum that happens to route its traffic through Cloudflare's DDoS protection and CDN services.
It does continue to astound me how so many people still jump
immediately to the "scream at upstream until someone pulls the plug" step. Yes, sometimes it works, but increasingly it
doesn't work anymore. What audacity these shit heads have to tell a private enterprise operating within the law for profit who it's not allowed to do business with. In a just world, Cloudflare would swipe back at this imbecile by saying if he wants to tell them how to run their business, he should buy a share and bring it up at the next shareholder meeting.
I agree that Cloudflare's making the right call by ignoring these twerps but fucking hell it's going to be amazing when companies collectively decide they've had it with this shit and start clawing back.
