DO you realize RSS technology is designed so MACHINES read them for humans?

Do you realize the damage Cloudflare causes to all stakeholders in the content segment, both protected sites and their users if you ban by policy ANY damm RSS scrapper?

Do you realize how faulty is your service if one of the biggest target for your services sees their services stupidly severed by default???

What, are you going to request any content service using Cloudflare to upgrade their account and pay IT hours to correctly configure your service to bypass your blocking of one of the most basic features any content service offers?

Of course the default is to block automated requests, the user can then choose to allow some or all scrapers, and what they can do, as they see fit. Default allowing punches a hole in the security for every site.
