Cloudflare is a regular problem for Starlink users. We're on CGNAT so users share IPv4 addresses. I see CAPTCHAs when using Starlink ten times as often as on my other ISP. I don't think it actually breaks things the way this article describes, it seems like a gentler behavior, but it's annoying.

A few months ago I got on Akamai's naughty list (with my other ISP) for some very light automated website downloading. That was a straight block with HTTP errors and I had to use a proxy to access the Web. It cleared up after a few days.

The lack of any user feedback or support for this situation is really annoying. Reminds you how much power the CDNs have. It'd be really bad if loading websites got as difficult as sending email through all the layers of spam filtering.
