I kinda don't understand why we still have captchas. We've solved the asymmetric problem with proof-of-work; just make somebody solve something trivial so they spend more resources than you do.
Like if a bot requests your page 1/day its not a problem; but if they want to request it 1/ms then the proof-of-work becomes too much for them and its transparent to a person.

I used another laptop with a VPN for a few days and what used to be smooth experiences turned into a shit ton of "log in to prove you're not a robot". Both Reddit and Youtube did this.
