>> the indignity of being forced to prove I'm human Indignity, that's it! I was never able to explain to myself the visceral hate I feel when I encounter captcha. I knew it could not be explained by the little work it requires, I knew there had to be more, I just couldn't put my finger on it. Indignity, and maybe the feeling of being used. I have to admit, When I encounter captcha, I leave that page and never come back. I stopped using Pocket where I had hundreds of articles because of that. And when I encounter captcha on an especially bad day, I spend a few minutes clicking on incorrect images in an attempt to mess up their data.

On site I find especially annoying is Humble Bundle. Before I want to buy something there login. To prove that it is me owning the account I receive an email with a code I have to type in. Especially when I am on a mobile phone. After that, when frigging ever I want to checkoutmy cartI am forcedto do these captcha again prove that I am a human. I just stopped buying from them. Even if I like the cause.

  > Even if I like the cause. What cause is that? To make IGN more money? Because everything else is only marketing by now.
