IntroductionDear Website Developers, Project Leaders, Decision Makers This Message is a Quick Heads-Up To the »Teams Tasked with Website Development.«

Regarding the Use of a Captcha Solution UnFit for it's Purpose: ReCaptcha.

The LieGoogle Promotes this Product as a »Good Solution« to verify Users. In Reality, Google's ReCaptcha is a Free LLM¹ Training Solution FOR Google to get Data from Millions of Users Constantly. It is NOT fit to be a Tool for Real-Person-Validation! Simply because it's nothing but a Bot wanting to prove whether You are one as well. A Captcha that proves Whether You are Human is Made for Humans ~ by Humans. ·~·~·~·

It's like Being Forced to Play a Minigame that SUCKS for God Knows How Long ~ Just for the Simple Task of essentially Submitting Data.

A Captcha is supposed to Verify You as a Real Person as Quickly, Efficiently & Securely as Possible. Period. Anything else is wasting one's Precious Lifetime for Unneccessary Things!

The Good NewsThere's really no Need or Reason to use ReCaptcha. Especially with all the Great, Free Alternatives ~ most of them being fully compatible to be Drop-In Replacements to ReCaptcha. One Great Captcha Solution that actually IS what it is made for is hCaptcha (the "h" probably stands for "human" 😉) Notices¹ Large-Language-Model ~ Often Falsely Referred to as »AI« I am in no way affiliated with hCaptcha. Since this seems to already be popular: I invite Everyone to spread the Word. You're free to link to and redistribute the Content of this Page.
