I don’t mind when there is one captcha. ONE. But when you use privacy tools such as a vpn, you rarely have to solve one captcha. You need to solve several, at times, losing more than 5 minutes because they refuse to let you in when they see you are on a vpn.
You have no idea about it because you’d rather be tracked across the net.
If you weren’t so abrasive about it, someone probably would have taken the time to explain why you should care. But when you act like that, why would people try to help you?
But captchas at least have purpose other filling my brain with bullshit.
And yes, ads can be blocked but a block ad is just … not there. So of course a captacha is more annoying than not seeing an ad. But that wasn’t the question. I’d rather solve captchas for 5 minues than watch a single 30 second ad.
Ads can be blocked, captchas are required to access certain contents, and some are absurdly annoying if they detect you are using a vpn or tor.
Yeah, but captchas are something you see if your privacy minded, not staying signed in, no cookies, that type of stuff.
If you’re doing that, you’re running an ad blocker as well.
So it’s more that you see ads or you see captchas, rarely would someone run into both frequently.
Which likely lines up with what someone finds more annoying, it’s what they see most.

If you’d literally rather waste 5 minutes clicking on traffic lights, than 30 seconds watching a video, that’s just an excessive hate for ads.
I’m not saying you have to like them, but spending 4 minutes and 30 seconds just to avoid them, is bordering on an unhealthy phobia.
See?
