I’m not saying the effect on bot traffic is none

Yes I know, I’m not denying that

Even more probable than perception variations is just messed up screen settings

These active captchas instead of methods not visible to the user are worse at hindering nefarious use than regular human use

As usual, the purpose doesn’t justify the means. The goal could and should be achieved without this nonsense

Yeah cloudflare gets a similar reaction as a paywall. Fuck this site, I’ll go somewhere else

Captchas ain’t stopping them anyway

Sorry, I assumed this was already common knowledge. There’s another thread fork from a comment.

Tl;dr they’re not good at their purpose and cause unneeded annoyance to users.

What the other commenter said and also accessibility issues, aand overall this is a problem which shouldn’t face the end user at all. Just browsing has become just a nuisance after a nuisance nowadays. Just like cookie modals not adhering to browser settings or hiding the reject all behind extra steps.

Wasting time on useless obstacles is bad

Cloudflare and Russia are both bad, take each other down pls
