Never encountered it once in thirteen years of using CloudFlare. If it did happen to me eventually as a one-off freak occurrence, that's a temporary fringe event. If it is happening to the commenter continually throughout CF's network then I'd say that's probably their problem. Frequent or consistent? Well, it's probably the user.
Happens to me too. And surely a bunch of others as well, who just don’t voice it. Defending Firefox and adblock as a fringe case worthy of dismissal is a sad reflection of the current state of the internet.
VPN usage seems to be a common one as it's often shared with people who abuse it to attack others.
Really cool. Love the shout out to Hacker News just now.

I used Firefox and various ad blockers for years and never had any problems with CloudFlare. VPN usage seems to be a common one as it's often shared with people who abuse it to attack others.

Well, if you're in the habit of making these anyway, I would like to propose one for podsafe/stream-safe music.
What is podsafe/stream-safe music?
Finally, something to listen to whilst I read https://rekt.news/

Even on actually respectable newspapers. Spiegel Online for example has this in place...
Spegel Online also does "pay or okay" (pay or accept tracking), so maybe at some point it's time to re-evaluate their respectability.
And to be fair I do get the point why they are doing that, good journalism has to be financed somehow lest you end up with a situation like in Austria where corruption scandals involving government-paid ads wrecking the entire political establishment and media elites of the country [1].

agree this is a huge need. I stream a few hours a week and it's so much more _fun_ with good music. If anyone has a source for good, safe instrumental background music to use on-stream, I'm all ears.

Please don't use cloudflare.
Why not? Most of the complaints people have with Cloudflare regarding CAPTCHAs and user-hostile behavior are opt-in features that are not enabled by default. A website behind Cloudflare needs to enable extra protection to opt into the CAPTCHAs. If your issue is more generally with a single provider becoming a global MITM for 10% of the internet, then that's a more understandable argument, albeit a meaninglessly exist…
But, importantly, Cloudflare is also very hostile to Tor. A number of people in the world rely on it for their security and safety.
