minus-square@ClinicallydepressedpoochieOPlink3•edit-21 month agoOk but the idea is based on countering bots and bot nets. The only thing it really changes is the threshold becomes more difficult but the difference between maybe a 601 and a 602 is astronomical.
minus-square@CetaceanNeededlink17•1 month agoI feel like it punishes real people more than bots. An exponential amount of clicks is easy for a bot to achieve.
