I’d rather have captcha than bloody adverts, company names and slogans to recognise or recite. This is worse than it purports to replace.

What if people have no interest in ads, use blockers, fast forward TV adverts, etc. etc.

Another problem is that these will have to ask questions, which no doubt will cause language problems for those that don’t speak/read that language.

+1 Good points.

+1 And I’m quite sure there are other good points.

I’d prefer the math captcha over this… “indirect advertising”. It’s simple and most people know their 1+1s.

afaik Captcha was broken since 2010 … it’s unreliable method of spam protection / prevention since
