Memories once buried have been unearthed…
But really, books already are not the way to make a fortune unless you are in the field of basically being able to dictate what books are used in every educational institution in an entire nation.

Yeah. The clown award (and similar “derogatory” awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.
By whom and why would the sites get DDOSed if they didn’t use Cloudflare? Am I wrong to assume that internet traffic is just as trackable for the internet provider if the server traffic first visits Cloudflare vs just using whatever the provider…uhhh…provides?
Mind you, while I can follow a logical argument, most stuff concerning networks like the internet still feels like magic to me for the most part. We use Cloudflare because, after reading up on it a little bit, I got the notion that it would likely improve our connection speed and especially the loading speed of my gf’s webtoon sites. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge.
