For the motorcycles and bikes... Are we supposed to add the squares with the humans riding it? Are they part of the system?
Which gives me the fewest goddamn captchas?

Internet in 2024 (for me):
- Service unavailable in your country (VPN)
- Confirm you're a human (VPN)
- Blank page (noscript)
- Obscure error (fingerprint / cookie blocking)
- Page not found (https required)
The percentage of websites that "just work" with privacy measures in place is depressingly small.
you have to put in extra work just to make your website not work with privacy measures. like you have to put in the work to use some bloated javascript framework that doesn't work with noscript instead of just sticking with plain html and css, which would work. on top of that, i've encountered way too many big websites that don't even have a noscript tag so all you see is a ghost layout or a blank page.

quality meme, shitty reality
Is there such a thing as an ad sequesterer? Not necessarily blocking it, but just shoving it in some other window I can’t see, and then letting it play through. Then YouTube gets its ad played, and I don’t have to see it—win/win.
You're looking for something like this. It still blocks the ad from your view but in the background it still loads/plays the ad, and sometimes even clicks it to spend their precious ad budget.
I hope it doesn't click it on my computer. I wouldn't trust an ad not to try to download a virus even on a legitimate site like YouTube.
the ones that put you on there mainpage if you don't accept cookies or use addblocker are the worst.
Hey, you know the captchas with the little box of warped letters/numbers you're supposed to look at and type it correctly?
Is anyone else, uh, terrible at those? I've literally given up on visiting websites before because I couldn't get the stupid thing right after a dozen tries. Wtf.
Out of curiosity, would you prefer spending time with a puppy, a flower or a large properly-formatted data file?

Amazon's are legitimately tough.
I had to resort to using the audio version the other day.

I just visited a site and selected the option to reject cookies. After doing this, the dialogue box would not go away, while a loading screen appeared. It was loading my new cookie preferences. This loading screen got stuck at 80% and hung there for almost a full minute.
It's a specific company that creates a cookie consent manager that way, and a lot of websites use it. The progress bar is entirely faked; you're being made to wait for nothing.

We're going to move very quickly to a DRM supported web model. There won't be captchas, but you will require a locked down device (with no ad blocker) to access the content
It's not worth it if I no longer control my own hardware
That's why everything is an App now, and every website tells you "it's better in the app". In the app they have full controll over your device and can access much more data points, while the website is controlled on the users site and might have AdBlockers and other security features enabled, potentially hurting their ad revenue and data they can sell. From a developers perspective it's a nightmare to develop and maintain website, android and Mac os app side by side. Just having one good responsive website is cheaper, easier to maintain and gives you less headache with app store restrictions, reviews, device incompatibility etc.

F U C K. T H A T
Hear me out: part of me welcomes that.
Currently, most websites are awful to browse, and a few are not. If we switch to a world where most are inaccessible to me, and a few are nice, then I'll spend less time being frustrated by cookie popups and the like.
Like, if a site's going to be terrible, I almost prefer it just not let me in at all.
As an example, I used to click the occasional Twitter link. Now that I can't see comments, I refuse, and life is a bit improved.

I encountered the mother of all captchas the other day: it had me picking a three-dimensional room diagram among six of them, matching it to a 2d top-down view of the room. It was way more time consuming than a typical captcha, and I had to do the same task five or six times.
I think we'll see harder and harder captchas as AI models get better and better. Eventually it won't be a realistic option since it just costs humans time and the convenience of whatever service they're trying to use.
In 2 years that shit’s gonna be differential calculus, or a riddle.
I'd wager AI models have an easier time solving those captchas than humans.
I'd also wager captchas' only real purpose is to train AI models

I mean, my browser just deletes all the site datas as soon as it closes, so this isn't really a problem.
