why you blaming cloudflare that try to solve botting issue and not the Botters ???

you literally can turn off cloudflare and use your own solution

Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

True, but for whom?

The cure here isn't perfect, but much better than the disease of paying hundreds of dollars a month for scrapers which will never be beneficial.

Worse for the scrapers really isn't anyone's problem but the scrapers'.

Some of us are labelled as bots, much like dolphins getting caught in fishing nets. I guess it's not material since it's not life or death (yet? if access to essential services is gated by bot detection we are all screwed).
