I hate captchas and think they should be kicked off the internet.
To understand my hatred of these one will have to know the definition of a captcha. They are those little images that one has to type in to prove they are a human. Everyone knows them, but most do not have a name for them.
The issue with the captchas of today are that they are not easily read by humans. Most of the time I have to try to enter a captcha several times before being allowed onto a site.
The captcha was created to prevent automatic creation of accounts and spam. The issue is the real spammers will find a way around them. That means the content creators will have to make the captcha more difficult to read. The people who loses in the end is the end user.
We need to find a better way to prove that I am a human than the captcha. They just make end users mad.
