 > But did you notice cloudflare seems to have changed captcha provider
 from recaptcha to ?

 Yes, to hcaptcha.com.

 Here you can see a cloudflared website, that does deliver all of the time
 a captcha to user and of course this have changed from recaptcha to
 hcaptcha too so you can see the difference directly as example site look
 at:

 [https://captcha.website/]


 This means, you should even expect more captchas delivered to users.
 Because now it is a busyness model, (get webmaster to use "free"
 cloudflare service and present users money rewarded captchas) with every
 captcha presented :



 {{{
 runs on the Ethereum blockchain. Websites earn Human Tokens (HMT)
 whenever users use the hCaptcha widget on their site,
 and machine learning companies pay Human Tokens to get their data labeled.

 The Value in Data Labeling
 When you use hCaptcha, companies bid on the work your users do as they
 prove their humanity.
 You get the rewards.
