I've made plenty of websites, still don't love them and still get served 5+ captchas sometimes, straight after each other. Perhaps I have to give them money, then I'll love them?
It's still just barking up the wrong tree. You're seeing a downstream effect of widespread abuse on the internet and complaining about people trying to mitigate it.
> It's like complaining that you have to ask someone at Walmart to take a product out of the lockbox so that you can buy it.
Kind of similar I guess, but mostly not. Never been to Walmart, so not sure what I'd expect, but I'm guessing that if I ask them to give me that item, they'll give it to me?
Because that's not how Cloudflare's captchas work. Sometimes they'll keep on coming indefinitely, until you give up and try again another day. Doesn't happen often when I'm in Spain, but if I'm in Peru for example that happens a lot. In Spain I usually get away with filling in 3-5 captchas, then I'm good to go.
So I guess your Cloudflare experience is wildly different depending on what country you live in, which is why you see some of us being very tired of it, and others not caring that much about it, probably because they live in a country with lower "spam-ranking", or however they do it internally.
