Yes, most people in this age are trapped in the widespread phenomenon of "digital media induced dopamine traps". Your mind may never let you use old school slow information gathering tools (like books, manuals and software documentation) when easy and instant servings like LLM lookups and youtube vids are so accessible. Your mind might ask "why go through all that pain and trouble, what's the use of it?" and you'll have no easy answer to that.

I don't really get how the developer can run the project free of charge without monetization options. Does this solely rely on donors?
Tunneling isn't that big of a toll on resource, it doesn't require storage/disk space nor compute power (CPU chips), all it needs is ingress/egress (spare bandwidth). A non-profit or decent business in telco can easily offer it, consider that many hosting companies offer entire package in free tier today (compute + disk + egress).
For several years, ngrok was practically free, only recently they've started monetizing once it gained popularity.

I spent some time on Friday trying out Cloudflare tunnel and boy was it a bad experience. The big killer was that the tunnel endpoint they gave me had an IPv6-only endpoint that I'm not sure was even valid. None of my devices could connect to it, including macbook, phone, linux, AWS instance...
On top of that I keep running into unexpected roadblocks with Cloudflare, like when I was trying to set up the tunnel they required me to set up a dedicated domain, you can't set up a subdomain of an existing domain. Probably fine if you are rolling it out as a production service, but for just testing it to make sure it even works (see IPv6 comments above), I just wanted to set it up as a subdomain.
localtunnel[1] is one good option, at least for now.

This level of incomprehensible drama is somehow the norm for open source projects. Lexicon around it is always the same. Problems are so far removed from real life that it's hard to understand what happened to whom. Why is it so widespread?
Yes, similar thing happened with Ruby gems community some days ago. Did the contributors got their access back now or Shopify is still controlling all the affairs?
With no routes, no controllers, no business logic, how can the capability exist? These are the core components of a web app and require extensive coding. I know we might eventually get there but not with the present state of technology. There is something fundamental missing about "intelligence" which must be solved before AGI can be approached, throwing more money and nVidia chips at the problem can only take you so far.
Is your browser version slightly older? I've found that Cloudflare turnstile (captcha verification system) often fails unless your browser version is latest and cutting edge. However, this extra mile security is only for Cloudflare's own login page - Cloudflare verifications on other sites perform ok even on these older versions.

It's like putting all your eggs in this one huge basket called AGI.
