Yeah, it has been prompting me with CF CAPTCHAS almost every time lately. Didn't use to do that, a few months ago.
Those captchas take more time than going to my usual LLM and asking there. Ironically their anti-AI crusade ends up making me use AI more.

Some paid services I’ve used for years have started aggressively automatically logging me out while I’m driving (eg when using the CarPlay app, which doesn’t include a login screen).

I really wonder what the PM’s are thinking.

Come to think of it, step 2 of the debugging flow for being hellbanned is “delete and reinstall the app”.

So, I guess they win?
