Wait, how are DoubleRecall captchas actually captchas? They appear to be trivially easy to OCR.

- rjb 15y agoThey are just "captcha like". I believe the idea is to to make ads bidirectional. Instead of just clicking a banner ad, a user would enter, say, a coupon code for example.
- thesnider 15y agoI'm sorry, I don't get it then -- is the plan to force me to enter one before visiting a site? Or are they just display ads with text fields?
- BadCookie 15y agoYou can't see whatever content it is that you are trying to access until you enter the code. The examples on their web site make it pretty clear: http://doublerecall.com/ http://doublerecall.com/
- thesnider 15y agoAh, ok. Missed that. I knew it had to make sense somehow, just not sure how :)
- rorrr 15y agoI don't see how any sane site would block its content with an ad.
- tomjen3 15y agoAm I the only person who already hates that company? I mean it is a very profitable idea, but ads are annoying enough already.
