cloudflare blocked me from signing in to my petflow account to buy cat food. It was in an endless verification loop. Awhile back it did the same with my paid crunchyroll subscription. I don't code, I have a very ordinary setup with a well known browser. Apparently cloudflare now owns our access to the internet and can block whom it pleases, when it pleases, no recourse. The internet is soon to be available only to those who fit cloudflare's criteria, whatever that may be, as long as companies keep buying in to the third party control.
