And it’s only $380 per year: https://wordpress.com/100-year/
With inflation, that may almost end up being a fair deal. ($380 in 2023 was about $24 in 1923.)

I’d expect to be able to host a bunch of century Wordpress sites for very very cheaply, provided you locked down plugin installation (I don’t see how third party plugins could possibly work on sites expected to be that long-lived). Without plugins they’re a known security and upgrade profile, and I expect traffic on 99.95% of them to be effectively nil or highly cacheable.
Support is a bit harder to quantify, but I still would expect that most sites will just quietly chug along and support events will be rare (and again, you’re supporting a very well-known software profile).
To that end the price feels a bit outlandish to me.
Cloudflare will not be the same in 10 years. I doubt it will exist as the cloudflare we know today.
Well, I can't predict the future, but I think CF is one of the good ones. I bet on them more than most. They have been pretty consistent with being benevolent for the internet. But you seem to feel differently. Have they rubbed you the wrong way somehow? Why would they allow the US military to buy them out?
