Readit NewsBlog posts don’t change much. Even if your rendering code is horrendously slow (though, why?), you can just cache the resulting html and serve it up with each request. Or slap nginx in front of your web server locally and let that deal with the load. ‘Course you’ll need your http headers set correctly, but you needed that anyway for cloudflare.
Your server has to be pretty badly configured for a personal blog to run out of CPU handling requests.
I wouldn't bet on an average dev being able to set up and configure nginx + Cloudflare correctly.

Not if you don't use CF to cache "dynamic" content.
It seems only a privacy leak tool now.
1000 requests / min @ 10ms limit / request. That's 16 requests per second. Any reasonable CMS, wiki or blogging tool should be able to do one request in 62.5ms. Add on cacheing for non logged in users and nginx serving anything static, that's less than the power a $5 VPS provides.
At these rates, the case for Cloudflare is a lot less than it was.
When you say “prey,” what kinds of products or services do you have in mind? I’ve seen some pretty dubious offerings, but I believe most creators genuinely want to help fellow ADHDers. Whether those solutions continue to work after the initial novelty wears off is another question.
If the problem is that you scroll on your phone, how does an app with a feature where you scroll on your phone solve the problem?
The app has other features to help with focus and to jumpstart productivity.
Think about something else than gamification. In my experience and the experience of our users (https://workmode.net/) gamification very quickly stops to work.
I wish you all the best as I know how devastating procrastination may be. Stay productive:-)
I haven’t checked the app, but the description says it uses social accountability, focus music and gamification. I’m sure it’s the right combination for some people, even if only for a while (in my experience gamification works only short term).
At the very least it’s not universally a bad thing.
Instead of ignoring that comment, take it to mean “users may want a feature to allocate an amount of off time” or something.

I kind of agree with you in a way as I ultimately think that working remote is a bit harder on social health and maybe even physical health of getting out of the house, but in another way I just don't know if I can go back to all the negatives of the office.
I mean, my toilet at home washes my ass with gentle warm water. The work toilet randomly decides to splash toilet water on me with the violent "automatic" flusher after I'm done wiping myself with transparent sandpaper.
