Doesnt scream professionalism. The only mitigation for ddos is to have a giant pipe to route and drop the traffic before it hits the server. Cloudflare have the resources to do that, this one person site doesn't.
I think its a scam.
Edit: lol, they are using cloudflare for their site... https://whois.domaintools.com/104.21.112.1
I had the same thought as you; I was curious because I also wondered what the scam is and if it was a new DDoS tool with just an unprofessional website. I expect that 99.9% to 100% of users use it for free so wander what the purpose is. I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CosPILI0qrw and in the video, he makes a website https://bliptext.com/ and the website triggers uses this ddos tool.
I haven't watched the entire video, but if its on the server side, is it just rate-limiting?
I don't know; he doesn't mention it in the video.
