But for actual live users who don't see anything but a transient screen, Anubis is a better experience than all those pesky CAPTCHAs (I am bored of trying to recognize bikes, pedestrian crossings, buses, hydrants).
The question is if this is the sweet spot, and I can't find anyone doing the comparative study (how many annoyed human visitors, how many humans stopped and, obviously, how many bots stopped).

Most CAPTCHAs are invisible these days, and Anubis is worse than them. Also, CAPTCHAs are not normally deployed just for visiting a site, they are mostly used when you want to submit something.
We are obviously living a different Internet reality, and that's the whole point — we need numbers to really establish baseline truth.
FTR, I am mostly browsing from Serbia using Firefox browser on a Linux or MacOS machine.
I don’t think we are living in a different reality, I just don’t think you are accounting for all the CAPTCHAs you successfully pass without seeing.
