That's a lot of hyperbole there. If you look at the top 500 websites very few of them are behind CloudFlare, CloudFlare's penetration seems to be SMBs mostly (since larger orgs can afford the in-house mitigations that CloudFlare offers).

Did you know reddit is? You wouldn't know it from looking at the WHOIS, I'm betting lots of places are behind it without showing the normal indicators.

    Name Server: CNS1.REDDIT.COM
    Name Server: CNS2.REDDIT.COM
    Name Server: CNS3.REDDIT.COM

Doesn't look like it from here..

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:

Delegated to?

    OrgName:        CloudFlare, Inc.
    OrgId:          CLOUD14

There we go! CloudFlare after all.

It might be easier if you use curl.

curl -I https://www.reddit.com HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: cloudflare-nginx

Those top 500 websites have the money to sit atop of CloudFlare's enterprise plan, which I believe offers custom-branded DNS servers.
