Who wants to place bets on the "potential robots" more likely to be those without Google cookies or a Google Account?
- Jgrubb 12y agoI can't think of many better uses for the menagerie of different tracking methods that they have planted on me, to be honest.
- debacle 12y agoWell if you ever run for political office it's going to save them a boatload on campaign contributions.
- Jgrubb 12y agoEh, you never know. Attitudes toward certain improprieties have moderated in recent years...
- forgottenpass 12y agoSo what? Other once acceptable behavior is no longer tolerated. There is always a center, just because it moves doesn't mean that people can't be a socially unacceptable distance from it.
- Jgrubb 12y agoI suspect you have mistakenly stumbled into a lighthearted thread with an overly serious mindset.
- eps 12y agoCertainly seems to be true in my case.
- rspeer 12y agoI've learned that I'm probably a robot, and it's probably because someone on my subnet hits the rate limits on Google APIs sometimes. There was one day when it was so convinced, it was giving me impossible captchas just to use Google Search.
- jordigh 12y agoSeems to be true for me too. When I reject cookies, I get more difficult recaptchas.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoIt's a poor betting opportunity as it's pretty much obvious it's the case. It also makes perfect sense.
