A lot of articles posted on hacker news are by people who don't really understand what they're talking about, but use a lot of emotionally charged language. A lot of times this is fine, because it's articulating something that bothers a lot of people and wastes their time. But in this case it's absurd. I don't think he understand just how much crap bots were/are putting out there, especially before we had good services like cloudflare and the whole web hosting cloud to filter it. It's not Google's fault every small/medium sized company decided to put important customer services on a web portal which could be easily abused, they just capitalized on it. Sys admins can't stop random executives from making crap decisions like having an inherently insecure system, but at least they can pitch on reCaptcha to fix it a tiny bit. But they wrote an article where they used a lot of CAPS LOCK, so they must be an authority.
