PS: Stack Exchange deployed a CF captcha that always gets triggered like 3 weeks ago which annoys me greatly.
Yeah, that's my point! Being pestered these people won't just remove it — they'd switch to something even more problematic and then it's something like… you can't visit GitHub if your browser doesn't support Brotli.
They might be incompetent, some of them might not even need it — but it's not about them, we end up not being able to access websites which had some useful content on them. ALWAYS.
BTW first time I encountered CloudFlare was on a relatively smol website, like an imageboard, which was DDoSed by some of its most braindead visitors (!) — I'm sure for them it was "Ha-ha, fun!". And we ended up having this shit! BTW at the time it was justified as containerisation wasn't yet a thing and switching to a more expensive hosting was problematic.
Anyway, things like this — they never end up well, they end up with something even worse. Because admins just give up trying to be competent and take the easy way out 🤷
