 > This does concern me as my users frequently get caught up in the captcha
 loop. If using an RSS feed reader through TOR, it is not even possible to
 receive RSS from the site.

 This is but one example of how cloudflare breaks the web, and of the
 insight behind '__bots are people too__'. It's been said above: we humans
 don't make HTTP requests, our machines to do it for us.

 Need more reason to dislike cloudflare? How about their across-the-board
 HTTPS man-in-the-middle? Look for the paper "When HTTPS meets CDN".
