Just because the quote is expensive doesn't make it not a proper quote. Either CloudFlare does it for PR for free or they need paid for a proper quote.

Let me rephrase: Maybe they can negotiate a different quote?

The PR gained in the development community to help a service beloved by hackers in this site could be very beneficial.

Paid for in exposure

So you want them to be paid in exposure? If a company offers a service that another needs, but doesn't pay for, should they provide the service for free for them? If GitHub goes down, should CF provide the service to them for good PR?

I feel awful for sourcehut, but that doesn't mean that cloudflare should be obliged to support them for free or below cost rates.
