Precisely. Any of the listed options is better than a captcha. None of the options are perfect, obviously, we're using yesterday's tech to solve a tomorrow's problem, but it's something, and it doesn't immediately mean "privacy online is dead".

    I'd rather put up with a captcha than do any on those other things, especially if it was temporary. Or maybe they could do something like Anubis

    Not sure I understand what you mean.

    Like, you verify the account and then give it away to a bot? My assumption is that the "proof of human" would be a unique identifier, meaning that once you've attached it to an account, you can't use it to verify another.
