    It is infuriating to have to solve a captcha just to see a page. > Why do I have to complete a CAPTCHA? Completing the CAPTCHA proves you are a human and gives you temporary access to the web property. No kidding. But why?

      To avoid DDoS and content scrapers that would harvest the article text and put it on link farms to get clicks from confused search engines.

      Because there are a lot of bots out there. Some are neutral scrapers just contributing to website load, while some are actively malicious. CAPTCHA's were a crucial development that allow the internet to continue to function efficiently and openly (for humans) as internet access expands in regions where there are no repercussions for cybercrime.
