USING CLOUDFLARE ON YOUR WEBSITE COULD BE BLOCKING RSS USERS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Cloudflare's security features, specifically Bot Fight Mode and AI Scrapers and Crawlers, are unintentionally blocking RSS readers from accessing websites. This happens because Cloudflare's AI-based system incorrectly identifies RSS readers as malicious bots, presenting them with human verification challenges they can't complete.
