CAPTCHA does not scale. CAPTCHA spams real people with requests and wastes my VALUABLE time, and still labels disabled people as subhuman. It's offensive. It's ineffective. It's outdated.

It's reaching a point where encapsulating a VPN with anti-captcha is something I'd pay for.

I would happily pay 15¢ or so per site to bypass captchas if it were done in a way that would preserve my privacy. Has something like this ever been offered?
