All that this will result in is Cloudflare starting to demand payment from humans to browse the web, eventually. It already became impossible to browse the Cloudflare-dominated web if you use VPN and/or any browser that resists fingerprinting.

Companies with a lot of money will pay up, smaller companies that depend on crawling for legitimate purposes will struggle, Cloudflare will pocket most of the profits, website owners will get pennies on the dollar and end user experience will get another blow.
