If it should have been destroyed what is the reason you think it hasn't been? People aren't adding captchas to websites for fun, it is clearly solving a problem for them. So what do you propose instead?

It's solving a problem for THEM at OUR (the users') expense. We should fight this more heavily just like we do ads and tracking and hopefully this practice will at least stop expanding. The amount of sites now showing captchas is crazy.

Or introduce a law where they have to pay us for using up our 'brain time'.

A law that they have to pay you for using their free service?
