Wouldn't be a DDoS. At least, I don't think it would.

It would just be simply people refusing to work on captchas more than a certain amount. Basically, if you make me hunt for bikes and there's more than 3 of them, then I'm not doing it. More akin to a deliberate labor slowdown than a DDoS, or even a strike.

How do you know how many bikes are out there in total? And what is a purpose of a deliberate labor slowdown if you are going to get more captcha work if you do not finish your current one.

I mentioned DDOS because every time you fail to satisfy captcha criteria website requests a new batch of captcha for you; in that way you would be constantly requesting a new captcha if you would be deliberately failing your current one or as you described imposing a "hunt limit" upon yourself.

Good point on the DDOS. Didn't think of it that way.
