Do anti-bot checks feel excessive to anyone else? (lemmy.world)

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?

You don't usually have to whitelist the whole site, just elements is my understanding. Some people have knowledge or patience to di this, others don't. At any rate, there's no need for hostility from that user.

    Yes you can just allowlist certain elements, but that's a whole of effort for a site you presumably trust. For most people, just allowlisting the site that's giving them issues is enough.

    And yeah, that other user is...weird
