Cloudflare is security theatre.

I scrape hundreds of cloudflare protected sites every 15 minutes, without ever having any issues, using a simple headless browser and mobile connection, meanwhile real users get interstitial pages.

It's almost like Cloudflare is deliberately showing the challenge to real users just to show that they exist and are doing "something".
