I see accounts like this all the time, I run into the endless loop of cloudflare refusing to serve me a webpage all the time. Somehow clicking the captcha seems to do nothing. I don't know if it's my insistence on using my browser of choice, or my regular clearing of cookies or what have you while trying to keep my laptop secure.

All I know is to me Cloudflare seems to be a gatekeeper of the worst kind, the kind that blocks me from accessing the content I seek to load.

And the idea that it somehow is protecting the web seems more and more ludicrous each tale like this I read. With each page that is delayed in a loop before finally letting me read it, I become more and more convinced at the sheer uselessness of it. Why does anyone bother with it in the first place when it clearly doesn't actually work and worse can be turned against you at any time?
