The OP was referring to a specific site - Medium.com (using Cloudflare)
that was previously presenting captchas to Tor users and is no longer
doing so (this is an option in Cloudflare site settings that you can
enable).

It was not a statement on the general usability of Cloudflare's captchas
for Tor Browser users.
