That's fine and all, but this version should cost money. Not as much as cloudflare, so corpos go for it, but definitely more than enough to fund you.

If they want free, they can use the anime .lol cat girl. If that's "too much" for them, then they can pay for the generic .net version.

That's my opinion, at least.

Charge money for a version that literally just takes the mascot out 🤣

Just wanted to chime in and say that OP's experience is exactly how it would go down at my workplace too, despite the deluge of downvotes they're getting, and I also likely would have looked at alternatives instead of proposing it, for the sake of my professional reputation. I think it's likely true for a ton of people.

That's not to say that people aren't being over-serious if they see the original branding and balk at it, but that's out of OP's hands.

.net is perfectly fine, and C-Suites won't frown at it.

Thanks for this, I really want to integrate your tool,

Plain and boring sounds great, I'd much rather see us using Open-Source tools than just turn to cloudflare or something, these changes would make it possible for me and others to push for this at work.
