Why do sites need human verification anyway? If the problem is load, then you just need proper rate-limiting in place. Captcha always seems to be mis-identifying the real issue.
- wizofaus 3y agoOk, so how do you rate trigger on a particular bot such that it doesn't impact real users negatively? Further, bots that submit enough pseudo-random data have a decent chance of bypassing various security mechanisms, including for authorizing payments. Even at .0001% success rate given enough attempts they have a decent likelihood of eventually subverting existing security measures, and boosting those may be just as painful or inconvenient to users as CAPTCHA and similar mechanisms. The reality is bots don't have their own money to spend, humans do, and on its own that's enough reason to care. And what's next, bots being issued passports or mortgages etc.?
