  I am shocked, shocked to discover an AI company breaking the social contract and behaving badly.

  Ignoring the self-promo part of the article, Cloudflare is in big part responsible for all of this. Their home page promotes mostly “AI” tools, they are even offering “pay-per-crawl” to make it a viable business model.

  So while you correctly shit on Perplexity, don’t forget that Cloudflare is even worse enemy and not a friend.

  Canceled my Perplexity subscription (that I got for free…lol) after their last shitty scandal.

  Fuck this company.
