    Well yeah, captcha/recaptcha was never designed to stop bots, but to spy without consent. Let’s not talk about the profit made by using it as unpaid labor to “decode” text and images for other companies. Should have been ditched long time ago.

      It’s an accessibility issue too. I have a friend who is both hard of hearing and has visual problems, they can make out zoomed in plaintext but the captchas are just too much for them.
