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?

    My biggest problem with this kinda stuff is with Anubis and like one site using cloudflare.

    With my current setup, like what feels like 99% of alternative r€ddit alternate frontend hosted sites don’t let me in. So I am stuck using my redirect extension to keep trying to connect to a different instance from the list and it usually takes a while.

    And then, as someone who like emulation, I gotta give a huge screw you to how ghe emulation gametech wiki thing completely blocks me from connecting to their site with a VPN active. Like, I just wanna see what’s new in the emulator realm in terms of whether or not they still suggest certain emulators and their cloudflare settings basically shit on me for wanting to provately browse their website. Fuck me for not wanting my ISP looking at everything I do!
