My understanding is that it stops bots. There are bot crawlers that make huge number of requests to gather data, mostly, but it's a cost heavy operation for the server.
As such, most sites introduce a "Prove you are a human" step, which humans like me and you can pass, but bot crawlers get stuck in.
I'm not sure, please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Do you know what this sub is for?
"This subreddit is dedicated to those of us who find the better joke in the comments section of any subreddit or other medium."
This is just a joke in the main post.
Well the jokes on us and we're in the comment section
Reddit is dead. Do anyone even care about where they are posting stuff?
r/lostredditors
r/im13andthisisdeep
Pretty sure there are bigger jokes on humanity
Do you reckon AI and bots have to check that box too?
How the hell is this getting upvotes?
That is not even fitting for the sub.
