Comment on My favorite button on the internet

Comments

The user desires to interact with this button because they want what it offers.

The button says only "Under attack?". How is that an offer?

After finding Cloudflare, they can immediately see a button that solves their problem

But this button label just asks a question. How is the user to know a press will solve their problem?

To me it looks like clickbait trying to sell something.

They're selling a service that you, under a DDoS attack, want to buy?

This web page knows I am under attack? That's clever :)

But then why is it asking if I am under attack? :)

The screenshot on the article shows the page ranking first for "ddos service". Usually you only search this if you're under attack or if you're looking for the service they offer.

I guess they could have a "are you under attack or want to sign up to our service" button, but that probably doesn't work very well.

Gosh, then they might have to go with "Sign up"! :)
