Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

unironically part of why I am so fucking mad that reCaptcha ever became as big as it did. the various ways entities like cloudflare and google have forcefully inserted themselves into humanity's daily lives, acting as rent-extracting bridgetroll with heavy "Or Else" clubs, incenses me to a degree that can leave me speechless
in this particular case, because reCaptcha is effectively outsourced dataset labelling, with the labeller (you, the end user, having to click through the stupid shit) not being paid. and they'll charge high-count users for the privilege. it is so, so fucking insulting and abusive.
I always half-ass my captcha and try to pass in as many false answers as possible, because I'm a ~~rebel~~ cunt.
