    It seems as though maybe you haven’t studied capitalism or, I dunno, the history of human society?

    Those are the two options, because the things you are talking about takes generations to change, if they evevr do at all. Millions of people will starve to death and die in the streets before anything real ever has a chance of possibly changing.

    And no, I’m not personally worried about my job. At least not within my lifetime. But imagine caring about other people…

    Well if the two options I have are: continue being able to afford to live while doing a job that can now be done by a machine, or to just let it happen with zero safety net and let the good vibes from the naive optimism of “if enough people go hungry, then things will have to change.” I know what I’m choosing and I’m sure that will be a great comfort in that time

    I’ve found that using a VPN tends to get e caught in more Captcha loops than not. I think google, etc. has gotten better at knowing which swathes of IP addresses belong to VPNs. I thought that maybe it was specifically an issue with NordVPN because it had gotten so popular, so I switched to Mullvad and nope. Still get way more captchas. Still keep it on.

    I just don’t think many of us believe that, “it’s been happening in various forms for 20 years” is an acceptable reason to continue doing or accepting something.

    You act as if Captchas themselves weren’t created to prevent corporations from gaming the system. Like you do realize that the only reason that “every post you are making on this site blahblah” is because corporations just had to exploit the system for profit at the expense of literally everyone. Captchas don’t exist because a handful of clever coders made bots that were able to skim some profits from Google. It’s because corporations turned that into a billion dollar business. Capitalism ruins everything it wraps it’s putrid tendrils around.

    So yeah, no. “You’ve been doing it already for 20 years” doesn’t cut it for me.
