Until you make your own website, then you love them

I've made plenty of websites, still don't love them and still get served 5+ captchas sometimes, straight after each other. Perhaps I have to give them money, then I'll love them?

Just put a form on a website and you will see why... CloudFlare provides the solution, not causing the problem.

Isn't CloudFlare infamously known for refusing to take action against clients who are causing the problems (e.g. DDoS services that make use of CloudFlare's services)?

We solved spam submissions on forms way before Cloudflare appeared, it isn't exactly a new problem...

I host my local community graveyard website and I've had no issue with forms. These forms are for tour bookings and contact.

And yes they are causing the problems. They restrict me because I use my own self-hosted colocated VPN in the same country on a proper dedicated IP with rDNS.

not going to lie, an old school honeypot will catch 95% of the bot traffic.
