I don't find this helpful.

Captchas have solved a real problem. They did work.

Captchas reduced a real problem, certainly, but didn't solve it. And they come with collateral damage.

I'm not asserting that the compromise they present is a bad one (or a good one). Just that they're a compromise.

You are hair splitting. Okay yes captchas successfully reduced the problem. That doesn't make a difference to the topic.

How can we _reduce_ the problem once captchas are obsolete?
