General Discussion • Re: wtf? almost every forum and website is on cloudflare now?

It's not just Cloudflare. This last month I've increasingly encountered more and more different and various captchas everywhere! (Mostly cloudflare, but also recaptcha on YT, or geo captcha on like Reuters)

It can't be fear of bots or scraping or AI, since most seem just fine pushing that stuff. I'm thinking more along the lines of boiling the frog for Digital ID/Age Verification stuff myself.
