If the Cloudflare free tier TOS allows them to sell your data then I would agree that "you are the product". IDK if it does, but I would put my money on no.

I have only used CF at the enterprise level so IDK if DDoS protection is free tier. Surprise billing like that is bad behavior, but it's not "you are the product" behavior.

Facebook also doesn't sell your data, but you're definitely still the product when they provide a free service in order to capture attention?

> [...] but it's not "you are the product" behavior.

Discarding the context for the thread, probably. But if we're discarding context, "you're removed when you start to consume resources" isn't you're the customer behavior either.

Maybe, it's you're the patsy behavior?
