The only real value in captchas isn't to stop bots, but to make it more expensive, or slower, for an adversary to abuse your service at scale.
- BowBun 2y ago> The only real value in captchas isn't to stop bots, but to make it more expensive, or slower, for an adversary to abuse your service at scale. Replace 'bots' with 'bad actors', and isn't that security in a nutshell? It doesn't even have to be computers - every day I suffer having to lock my doors and carry keys because locks are how we deter people from theft. As an aside, this kind of thing is why I'm a misanthrope. What % of resources are spent on preventing bad actors doing the most basic, bad things? What a waste.
