Yeah no shit Cloudflare, YOU'RE THE REASON FOR IT.
And the solution is "use hardware keys and track everyone"
- gjsman-1000 4y ago> Yeah no shit Cloudflare, YOU'RE THE REASON FOR IT. Cloudflare is not the reason for it - ridiculous amounts of bot traffic is. Bot traffic that is either malicious, resource consuming, or actively trying to bring your website down. CAPTCHAs are just the best tool we have to block them, and I don't believe it is completely fair to have website operators just put up with it for the sake of the users - it's a team effort. Let's solve the internet's actual problems so that we don't need things like Cloudflare to patch symptoms instead of causes.

- Incipient 4y agoThat's a similar argument to "we don't need police, everyone should just behave". It's always a worthwhile cause to teach our kids to be better humans, kind and forgiving...but the reality is people are...not great. We're always going to need cops. Someone will always ddos, we're going to need Cloudflare/anti-ddos.
