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?

I run a reticulum NomadNet site. I setup logging, since there are no 'sessions' and I don't want to force everyone to identify, I just calcuate bot traffic based on time, order and frequency of loads, bots's scraping are likely 80% of my traffic. And this is for a service that's designed to support 200bps radio links.
