By captcha I meant "telling computers and humans apart", not necessarily a particular implementation.

Why are you focusing on bot traffic? Doesn't human traffic also cost money? Who operates bots and why?

The problem is allocating resources fairly. A single human may operate tens of thousands of bots, and thus use disproportionate amount of resources, possibly all of them.
