- robin_reala 9y agoTo be honest, at this point CAPTCHAs don’t have benefits. If they’re the traditional sort then computers are better than people at them now, if they’re the select-from-a-grid type then you’re forced to help train Google’s AI, and either way they’re a massive accessibility hindrance (we blocked their use on GOV.UK[1]). Better to just care about your users and put a little bit of effort into spam classification.

- lxchase 9y agoAre there alternatives you would recommend that can be easily implemented on a front-end level instead of the back-end/network level? I don't disagree with their recommendations- just curious.
- jsjohnst 9y agoIf it’s front-end only, what purpose does it solve?
- robin_reala 9y agoNo. I’d recommend actively dealing with potential problems yourself over putting your problems onto your users and their progress to their goal.
- herbst 9y agoTry doing that a few times then you get even worse ones.
