- stri8ed 7y agoI mean on the page content. Using something like Google's Recaptcha would reduce friction for legit users.

- rbritton 7y agoI think there was a time that was true. Now reCAPTCHA is so prone to tagging someone as a bot if they employ any ad blocking or tracking prevention that it significantly interferes with web use. It's an overall harm to the web in my opinion.
