This is more complex. $4k is not really that much for a company to spend. If you were wrong, well you lost someone&#x27;s conference trip, if you were right you saved company much more.<p>Anyway, I hate this CloudFlare articles, it&#x27;s clever marketing. Essentially they say that if you would use their service you could call bluff, and save that $4k, while they also contribute to the problem by protecting all DDoS for pay services.
