Illegal or not, how they are so successful at avoiding fiat KYC or its implications?

Cloudflare services are used for free by most of the internet every day.

Could I've solved it differently? Sure, but I'm losing money on it already, spending more time and using more resources for it was just not the top choice. <br/><br/>CF gets used this much because it has disproportionate benefits compared to evrything else, even om a free tier. And its gonna stay that way until the individuals start figuring out that everything you click, consume or post on the internet has intrinsic cost. Its small on per unit basis, but it stacks up with even the amount of users nostr has, let alone when things really hit scale.<br/><br/>So either start rethinking your spending habits for everything you consume online or stfu:) <br/><br/> </blockquote> 2025-11-18T14:49:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyddfazwm4p8pjf7r32shumjyyq33rkxxwyzqk9frwak9av2qqwmgzyr2fesycc9zs2e8r80vsc5vs0xtxjrj7jllsmkhxhju8dnx8r35vwghzs6u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst34hmm3pmhtnjta2tjy86wwwphzx4xj22jvcteu2qs249ahzshhspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgxde4re'>nevent1q…e4re</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Storage too.
