No one actually wants to pay for it though. I've scouted multiple times on nostr.
The problem is that Cloudflare is also necessary for DDoS attacks that can render a server inoperable.
Centralization will continue until the cost of the outages exceed the employee cost for self hosting.
Playing devil's advocate, I wonder how many of these services that utilize AWS/CloudFlare really need their services. I bet most are on board for the ecosystem and not truly for their HA.
We don't need CDNs, we just need to improve browser support for torrents.
A website publishes a nostr event to a bunch of nostr relays, including their own, including magnet URLs (or realistically just file hashes), for every asset they need a CDN for.
Cloudflare can go down and the website will be up. The website can get DDOS'd and it gets faster
Oh and of course blossom too, especially since you can reuse hashes between the two
