I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.

I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

    Unless you want this place to wind up like youtube and reddit with zionist AI bots skewing the entire website in favor of israel, no.

      I run a site that only advertises itself in one country and is of no interest to anyone else. Cloudflare’s threat monitor lists the three countries that it’s blocked the most attacks from are:

      1. USA
      2. South Africa
      3. Israel

      …and I’m supposed to be scared of the Chinese?
