In a quite a few instances, I find it flattering, because it implies "we haven't sucked enough data on you already to know if you are a human, so we need to be sure."
- xdennis 5y agoI find it infuriating because it pits me against other people without explaining what the rules are. If it says "select a sign" and I see there's also a sign far away in the distance only a few pixels in size, I select it because it is a sign. I think most people don't because I frequently get many tests after, because I'm not human enough for them.
- Banana699 5y agoIt's actually a sign of bad ergonomics and disrespect for your time and effort. There are already sites that know you're human by your mouse/touch behaviour. Only if js is blocked do they need to resort to those ridiculous multi-level games they make you play. My surprise if the sites that do those things turned out to be using humans for free labeling of images would be an exact, unsigned zero.
