Approved Bots
Gonna have to disagree hard with this, based on extensive first-hand experience (web dev). I've added CAPTCHA to dozens (hundreds?) of web forms, and it all but eliminates spam.
Right, so similar to locks? Usually can be easily bypassed if you know how, but it at least filters out the people who aren't determined enough to put in the effort.
Basically, yeah. The vast majority of spambots are simple and lazy.
My experience matches yours. I don’t enjoy putting recapcha v3 on my sites but it takes contact form spam from 70-80 messages per day to 0-2.
I’d switch to other services if they could be as effective. If anybody has real-world experience with another option working I’d love to hear it.
reCAPTCHA v2 visual challenge images are all pre-labeled and user input plays no role in image labeling
That's funny, because when I'm faced with this, I keep adding/removing one of the image randomly and it keeps accepting them as ok.
Does this work?
Judging from the reviews, it doesn't
Ah, right, there are reviews too.
I tried it before. It worked for me on one small game website for account creation. After that it was more or less useless on any other site. It has a weird focus thing where it'll try to solve the captcha before you can enter in login details so if by chance the extension works, you'll fail the login anyways.
It still needs work. I think if the dev can work out those issues it could be great. Until then, it's pretty much worthless.
Is it only 7200 people solvning reCAPTCHA every hour for the past 13 years? Feels like it should be more?
I thought it was detecting bots based on how you are moving your mouse, etc to solve it, but if they can be solved by AI do they want their AI trained by other AI?
I thought this was old news 20 years ago?
I always thought they are just getting the training data for AI using these.
