I have a genuine question: why is this worse than normal captchas which the human must interact with directly? Or is any mechanism that attempts to prevent certain methods of “unattested” web access (e.g. curl or screen readers) bad for the same reasons?
And if the answer to the second question is “yes,” it makes me wonder why we’re even okay with (non-personal) content in the web being login-walled or pay-walled.
