Do you use a VPN or Tor, or do something that might make you look like bot traffic, like always using Incognito mode, spoofing your User Agent, etc? Are you connecting from something other than a residential IP?

You're having to prove you're human all the time because there's likely something you're doing that makes you look like a bot.

Living in a Non-US, Non-Canadian or Non-European country will basically make most CDNs and similar services flag you immediately as a "probably bot traffic" and you'll get served endless captchas and similar hassles.
