Cloudflare is bypassable and most captchas can be bypassed too. If they can't, outsourcing this to low-wage countries is not very expensive. If it's to get to something you need, these methods will slow you down a little - they're never a barrier.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted but it might be the Cloudflare aspect?

I've recently been exposed to the world of proxies, scrapers, data harvesting firms, etc and it's widely accepted that you can scrape anything, circumvent just about anything, and eventually get your hands on whatever data you're looking for.

That said from what I hear Cloudflare is actually pretty good at scraping/bot/etc detection and mitigation.
