Google is a hypocritical pile of burning . They use bots right? They scrape websites, they infest everything from my banking website to console emulators with their tracking, and yet we little people are not allowed to scrape or interface with the web programmatically.
I want them to burn so badly, I hope the EU breaks them up. Screw captcha, screw AWP, screw them.

- Bakary 7y agoThey're not hypocritical but cynical. There is an appreciable difference.

I get a ReCAPTCHA when logging into my Patreon account. I've been paying then $10+/month for years now, they should know by now I'm not a spammer
