    Why Can’t Robots Check “I’m Not A Robot”?

    They actually can: https://nopecha.com/ is one of several services which apparently reliably solves them automatically. They give you 100/day for free, and if you need more it’s just $1 for 60000 - two orders of magnitude cheaper than the human-powered captcha farms which have been in business since captchas became popular. Captchas don’t stop bots, they just keep out the amateurs.

    (I haven’t tried this service and certainly don’t endorse it; I notice their website uses cloudflare and fully blocks Tor - no captcha is even offered 🤡)
