Well, I don't use most of their stuff because I mostly run self hosted stuff that either don't need their proxy stuff or violate their content policies (you can't serve movies/video over their proxy, which is reasonable). But if I wanted to I already have all of that at my disposal, without any extra money.
The only questionable stuff I do is stream game files and Stremio over it. Though the game files are “supported” because they come from backblaze I guess?
I've been serving video to myself remotely via proxy for six years on Cloudflare, never got any email to stop, never got throttled for bandwidth issues. They likely don't want you to host another version of YouTube, or tank their pipes with data, otherwise they don't give a fuck what you do
