At least they moved away from Google Captchas, which really hates disabling of 3rd party cookies and other privacy-protection measures.

I haven't had a problem with Cloudflare and their new Captcha system since their changed, but I still suffer whenever I see another website using Google Captcha :(

Ironically its now easier for robots to solve Google Captchas than it is for humans, as evident by the browser extensions that solve them that exists.
I used to have a lot of bot spam, but then I mostly foiled them with the world's silliest captcha. Looks like a math problem, but the solution isn't what's required to proceed.
AFAIK most of those just pay a human in a low income country.
