What can we do to stop it?

Look at how entrenched the big video players are. If anything this is creating more competition.

And better - if a service that started by using this got large enough, they could spin out on their own with no ties to the original platform.

The decentralized web is broken. You can kick almost any website off the internet after sending $2 to a booter. This leads to centralization.

Though of course CloudFlare protects booters as well, but I'm willing to buy their philosophical argument.

Do we need to stop Akamai, AWS CouldFront, MaxCDN, Rackspace, et al, too?
