It contributes to it, because now you're behind the same public IP address as X other people. You're then X-times more likely to get flagged as suspicious and need to enter a CAPTCHA X-times more frequently.

Cloudflare easily detects that using your discrete external port range and knows better than to show you a CAPTCHA.

Anecdotal experience (I know, of course... this is sample size n=1) tells me that you can't be further from the truth.

Putting CF aside, anyone who has tried to edit Wikipedia anonymously should understand the pain of CGNAT.
