   Worst marketing ever. ngrok had a similar slogan:

   something like - "We help you put localhost on the Internet."

   What could possibly go wrong?

      Hm, yeah, depends who you’re marketing this to.

      Also, the “0 ports opened” marketing is misleading. It still binds to a port and then also lets people access your resources over it.

      I dislike that Cloudflare Engineering has become more… marketingy as of late. Also with their Cloudflare OS misnomer. Their products used to make more sense, what happened?

         Marketing is meant to be misleading. That's how it works.

            No, marketing is about communicating valuable offers.

            Misleading communication is what I am describing, that is a subset of all communications.
