Uhmm.... Just use harder Catpchas? I can't really understand the outrage here, this problem of scraping to the point of being DDOSed, which is what the author seems to contend, has existed since forever.
Who is developing, deploying, and profiting from these harder captchas? Apparently not Cloudflare. > They are using commercial services such as Cloudflare to outsource their bot-blocking and captchas, without knowing for sure what these services are blocking, how they're doing it, or whether user privacy and accessibility is being flushed down the toilet. But nothing seems to offer anything but temporary relief. Also…
Google is typically developing Captchas, but you can develop your own if you like.
