Trail
Connection thesis
Google Cloud's reCAPTCHA evolution (QR code device attestation, WEI resurrection) and Cloudflare's 20% workforce cut both signal consolidation in web infrastructure/security layer. Cloudflare cut likely driven by margin pressure from AI competition and market contraction. Google's reCAPTCHA relaunch is defensive move to recapture fraud detection revenue. Both moves indicate tightening competition and falling pricing power in infrastructure services.
