No Payola Here. Period.
What's this blog post about?
Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare, discusses the company's policy against paying for reviews or offering free accounts in exchange for promotion. He compares this practice to the "payola" scandals of the 1950s when radio DJs were secretly paid by record companies to play their songs. Instead, Cloudflare offers a full-featured free account to everyone and earns trust through its product quality, leading many users to upgrade over time.
