I can't access some services because of Cloudflare's human verification. It just keeps trying to verify me.
Well, I'm a human. Now what? Never open internet again because I'm not welcome?

Likely an IP reputation thing. If you are using a VPN or routing your network through a cloud IP or VPS, try not doing that. Also check your devices if they've been compromised. Maybe you're part of a botnet.

Probably by this point my fingerprint is tainted. I appreciate the suggestions, thank you.

I used to run a search engine out of my living room, so I know the experience.
IP reputation is usually reset after a while assuming whatever got you flagged stops, so it's not necessarily permanent.

Assuming of the CF members on HN look into it they would likely need the URL and the time you got the error and any error codes present before the verification loop.
