I didn't downvote but I don't believe the claim was 100% factual. Cloudflare has always been horrible with dealing with shared IP's even if the users are all legitmate non-malicious. I once worked in an office with a single shared IP for ~200 people and we got constantly captcha-blocked by Cloudflared websites. It was also a problem with google but it was less prevalent and their captcha system was less annoying than Cloudlfare's.

When I was a sysadmin for a few admittedly-not-highly-popular websites, there were definitely more unwelcome bot traffic from US and EU IP's than there were from any 3rd world countries.

I also don't agree that social media "like-factories" should be a concern for Cloudflare at all. Even if they are truly a concern; social media "like-factories" are probably human-operated on third-world countries or bots that are likely running from developed world servers with access to cheaper bandwidth and IP's.

This is more insightful than anything else in the comment chain that was spawned from my GP. My opinion on the 'justifiable' end has shifted a bit, thanks!
