Captchas are a form of stealing from the commons. We were tricked into using them when their stated purpose was good for society. But all too rapidly, they changed course, from “Do No Evil” to straight up doing evil I guess?

It was roughly at that point I felt captchas became highly objectionable, especially when combined with site you were forced to use at work.

Why should Google profit from the work of the general public in this way? All of the knowledge learned from implementing Captchas should be made entirely public. I would hope it already is! But boy does that feel naive in this world.
