what the fuck is the internet anymore even

just don't use shit websites and they'll go bankrupt in less than two more time units

The collapse of the trustful web, like piracy running ranpant upon the seas, websites pay tribute to the dominant naval power in exchange for protection (cloudflare).

The alternative is designing your vessel to be central serverless. Join the swarm and scale horizontally instead of verticly against ddos

You don't understand, my 21 year old vibe coded zoomer intern told me that my website - Big Fat Bob's Corner Shop (Hicksville Alabama) - might be targeted by malicious scrapers and I need to protect my one html page website with its lovely juicy data (the prices of 17 types of canned beans, a 2L bottle of coke, and an svg of a small flower)

really makes you think

Is there an option to turn down how aggressive it is? I don't want site visitors to be asked if they are human every time they visit a page. If they were approved on one page, they should be approved on all of them.
Why is the same CDN asking me if I am human across multiple websites anyway?

>>22707
>anti-shadowbanning guarantees
Do CDN services shadowban websites?l or what is that referring to?

>>22712
I havent researched into cdn shenanigans, though this was more in the content side of things, who sees what posts if at all, what comes up in searches etc

i fucking hate cloudflare, google, microsoft and other megacorporations that ruined the internet. fuck you

You either add that to your website or you get spammed to hell, it's not like site admins want to add all this shit

>>22713
That site doesn't want to let users without an account view videos anymore either. They're as bad as tiktok/IG. I have to use xcancel or just ignore it.

>>22705
if u don't use chrome u get the slow lane
letting indians into the western world was a mistake

The fuck is a time unit? Is that like a retard unit?

What the reason for this? To track you more easily and gather a profile? Making twitter a more exclusive club?

>>22705
you can thank big tech for this. their data gathering bots are literally worse than fucking DDoS bots.

>>22714
Are you the next Johnny Silverhand? No? Then you will be good compliant goy, and you will enjoy your subscriptions, and you must have Cloudflare in every facet of your life.

>>22715
There are other anti-ddos/anti-bot verification tools that aren't annoying, there is that one with the weird cat/bunny looking anime girl.

It depends what the user is willing to store on their side.
For example if you create a cookie on their browser, you can issue a unique ID. Theoretically you could make a unique ID that could be self confirming based on IP address too, like kind of how credit card numbers have a built in self check. That would prevent it being duplicated or from wasting resources checking bad IDs. You could make this ID presented on handshake when user connects or requests data, automatically good for a week, updated every subsequent day they use the site.

Shit would go away if they dont allow that on their browser settings though.

You could also whitelist IPs at different levels. They pass the test they get white list level 1, you see them using the site legitimately for a day or two you give them level 2, etc.
None of this works if you're sharing an IP (for example using a VPN).

Realistically we dont punish ISPs and Telecoms enough.
Its absolutely possible to manage spam calls and bad actors on their side.

we have to retvrn

It's probably primarily to encourage new users to join.

Panda was the best antibot feature.

yeah sure let them profile me as goonerboi69 with email addr goonerboi69@protonmail.com

>>22705
DDOS mitigation uses the same infrastructure you would use to fake a stage attack.
Think about that for a second.
All of the services that can use their datacenter full of computers to run their service and also launch DDOS attacks against some random server hosted on a mac mini stand to gain some benefit from Cloudflare gaining more of a foothold including the datacenters themselves.
